Film shot on Mayo island has online premiere

A FILM shot on Achill Island has had its online premiere on streaming platform Eiretainment.

Written and directed by Conor King, A Passing Place was filmed on Achill in 2022.

The film follows the story of Lucy, who, having grown up in London, is only just adapting to life with estranged family in the Irish countryside when a mysterious object appears in the sky.

The possibility of first contact sparks a new sense of motivation, leading her to explore the island on which she has been struggling to settle over the past few months.

Lucy’s plans soon clash with her father’s overprotective reaction and her brother’s apparent disconnection to the appearance of the object, which has coincided with his own doubts as to whether this small, remote island is really the best home for either of them.

Eiretainment is a new independent Irish streaming platform, supporting Irish filmmakers across the island. See https://www.eiretainment.com/.
