Movie in Culdaff

Culdaff Village was buzzing this week when filming began on the new Irish film 'Dead Long Enough'. The movie is a romantic comedy and tells the story of two Welsh brothers who return to a small Donegal village where they spent a working vacation a number of years previously.

Angeline Ball from 'The Commitments' is appearing in the movie and the director and producers were keen to hire some local people, such as Aoife Deeney from Buncrana and Morvana Parkingson Moville. The screenplay of the film, which is supported by the Irish Film Board and the Northern Ireland Film and Television Commission, is based on a novel by James Hawes, who co-wrote the script with director, Tom Collins from Derry. The Director's previous works include Teenage Kicks - The Undertones.

Shooting will continue in the picturesque village of Culdaff for around three weeks when the action moves to Wales for further filming.
