Local People wanted for new movie

The filmmakers of 'A Shine of Rainbows' are looking for people of all ages for a range of roles. Auditions will take place in the Colgan Hall, Carndonagh on Monday 7th April and Tuesday 8th April from 10am to 7pm. A film spokesperson said "We need women aged 20 to 70; men aged 40 to 70 and children aged 7 to 12. Several of the roles will be significant with quite a lot of dialogue and we want local people for them she added. All roles will be paid.

The film is a British/Canadian/Irish collaboration and is being co-produced by Canada's Sepia Films in association with Octagon Films in Bray with the support of the Irish Film Board. The producers have been working closely with Donegal County Council's cultural development office in Carndonagh and its area manager Aideen Doherty. Aideen told last month's Inishowen Electoral Area meeting that about half the film's budget, around €3m, would be spent in the peninsula. This includes finding local accommodation for the film crew with 17 two , three and four bedroom rental properties being sourced for them in the Malin/Carndonagh area.

For an audition appointment please contact Maria during office hours either Thursday 3rd April or Friday 4th April on 074 73779.
