WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

"Post Love" is an upcoming Irish comedy short film that is currently being made by students at the National Film School in Dublin. We are looking for donations for the film's production. Any donation big or small will be greatly appreciated and every cent will go towards the production of the film.  We want to give back to our backers so we have a list of perks available. 

 

Please read more about the project below and see why this project means so much to us:

 

FILM SYNOPSIS

Why stare at cows in rural Ireland when you could be drinking cocktails in Lanzarote? This dream could soon become a reality for Cathy, Pauline, and Roisin who have just escaped from their nursing home.  But this lavish lifestyle is designed for the rich, not three elderly women living off the state. Therefore Pauline creates a “Get rich quick” scheme that involves robbing local post offices. Although money can buy you almost everything, it can’t, unfortunately, buy Cathy Love. Amongst the chaos, we follow Cathy’s search for love as this is the final opportunity she has to find "the one".  Could this put Pauline’s plan at risk?

 

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

"Post Love" is being directed by Max Barry as part of his graduation film at the National Film School, IADT. The film was written by Max and Ryan Mortell and was shot during the month of January and is currently in post-production.  The film stars  Maria McDermottroe, Geraldine Plunkett and Frances Blackburn. 

The film is much more than a college project for Max and producer Erik Scarsella as they believe it is an uplifting comedy that sheds light on the themes of growing old and love. It pulls from classic Irish comedies such as Father Ted and The Young Offenders to bring a quirky and unique story about three Irish grannies who just want to break free and live their life instead of withering away in a nursing home.

 

THE CREATIVE TEAM

 

 MAX BARRY - Director

Max is currently a final year student at the National Film School IADT. He is majoring in Directing fiction and minoring in Producing. He has directed and won awards for a number of short films including films in Thailand and Italy. His most recent film Benito, which was made as part of the Lake Como Film festival, won the audience and jury award in June. Max started working on the idea for post love over the summer of 2019 and has been dedicated to getting the project off the ground since then.

RYAN MORTELL - Writer

Ryan was the most crucial person in the early stages of the film. Alongside Max, he was able to craft the story of "Post Love" for the big screen. He is currently a screenwriting Major in the National Film School and is minoring in directing fiction film. Ryan and Max went through over 10 drafts of the film to get it to where it is today. Himself and Max have worked on a number of different films together but their last partnership was on the film "Cubicle" which they both directed back in 2017 (Pictured above). 

 

Erik Scarsella - Producer

Erik is a film student from Rome who has a strong passion for cinema. He has directed a number of projects but has recently started producing short films. Erik attended the National Film School in Ireland as part of the Erasmus project in 2018 and has been working closely with Max since then. He produced the awarding-winning short Benito back in June and is now dedicated to the production of Post love.

 

Tiernan O'Rourke - Director of Photography

Tiernan is a talented cinematographer who never stops working. He has worked on a number of projects with Max and Erik and has put a lot of time into crafting the look and feel of the film. He and Max recently travelled to Thailand to shoot a documentary. The duo came 1st Runner up in the international competition and created a documentary that focused on the theme of happiness. Tiernan has done a wonderful job shooting Post Love and is now focusing on colour grading the film once the edit is complete.

THE ART TEAM

From Left: Eveyln Hassett, Sally Kinsella, Jocelyn Hannon, Grace McClair

 

Art Director: Eveyln Hassett

Evelyn has worked tirelessly to bring the film to life since she came on board back in December. She has built a post office from scratch, turned a Wicklow school community hall into a 1950's school dance and she crafted a fake bomb out of an oxygen tank. Aside from that, she has made sure the film has a distinct artistic style and has made sure all of the other art departments have followed her vision for the film.

 

Costume Designer: Sally Kinsella

Sally has brought the characters to life with her quirky costume designs. She also was able to create and source costumes to dress over 50 extras in an 1950s school dance scene. She brought a very distinct look to the characters and crafted beautiful costumes.

 

Makeup Artist: Grace McClair

Grace worked closely with Jocelyn to bring an over the top feel to the film. Through the make up she was able to make each character have their own unique style.  She put a lot of thought into the colour pallet of all the characters so that it all related closely back to the overall design of the film.

 

BARRA O'CONNOR - Editor

Barra is currently an editing Major at the National Film School IADT. At the moment he is working closely with Max to put the film together. He has worked on many productions, both in college and out, including documentaries and fiction films. He is passionate about finding the story within the edit. 

 

JOHN COONEY- Sound Designer

John is currently a major in screenwriting at the National Film School. He is also minoring in sound design so came on board the project to bring the film to life aurally. He is a very talented designer who has worked closely with Keen Murphy to make sure the film has a rich sound design. He was on set to capture the audio and is about to start post sound on the project.

 

THE CAST AND CREW

We cannot thank each and every single person who helped bring the project to where it is today. Without the generosity of cast, crew, locals and business owners around the Wicklow area this film could not have been possible. We had an amazing cast and crew of just under 100 people bring this project together so far and we are excited to have YOU help with the process!

 

We need YOUR help 

Although the film is shot already, there are still various things we need to pay for. We are asking for funding for: 

  • Final Scene Recording - One more scene still needs to be filmed so we need to cover actors, catering and general expenses of running a set
  • Distribution - So the film can be entered into local and international film festivals and our lovely grannies can be seen up on the big screen.
  • Score- Every good comedy needs a good score. We are looking to find a professional composer who will create a beautiful and comedic score for the film.
