WATCH: Award winning film shot in Tullamore now available to watch on YouTube

A multiple award winning film shot in Tullamore is now available to watch on YouTube. 

Kubrick By Candlelight was shot in Tullamore in late 2016 and released in 2017.

Described as a 'pure Offaly film', it won multiple awards including Best Film at the International Shorts, Australia, Best International Film at the Borderscene Film Festival and Best Comedy at the Underground Cinema Awards.

The film is a romantic comedy set behind the scenes of the filming of the Stanley Kubrick motion picture Barry Lyndon which was shot in the Republic of Ireland in 1973. Many myths and legends surround Kubrick and none more so than his dramatic escape from Ireland after receiving a threatening phone call in early 1974.

The story finds two young lovers, one an Irish kid playing a British Redcoat, one an English assistant director, from different sides of the camera tracks. Will their love survive the shoot? Can the production’s insatiable desire for candles be satisfied by the local village? And just who made that threatening call to Stanley which sent him running?

Shot in Tullamore, and winner of the Film Offaly/ Filmbase Bursary 2016, David O’Reilly brings together a sensational cast including Tullamore native Darragh O’Toole (Red Rock, South), Amy Hughes (Dad’s Army, Vikings) and Phelim Drew (My Left Foot, Angela’s Ashes) as well as an illustrious behind the scenes crew including DOP Stil Williams (Convenience, Gone Too Far) and producer Vinnie Jassal (Fast & Furious Six, Kingsman). The legendary actor Brian Cox is The Narrator.
