The long-awaited film The Unholylands, from Enniskillen filmmaker Paddy Duffy, will air on BBC One Northern Ireland next Wednesday, December 17, at 10.40pm.
The 26-year-old not only wrote, produced, and directed the film but also takes on a lead role in the coming-of-age comedy, which is set in Belfast’s notorious – and aptly nicknamed – “not so Holylands”.
The story follows two stepbrothers during their final chaotic week of university, as they attempt to throw one last unforgettable house party before being dragged into the real world of adulthood.
The film premiered in Belfast in October. Speaking at the time, Paddy said, “It’s been five years in the making to get a cinema release and to be lucky enough to get one is brilliant. To be seen all over the island it hasn’t really hit me yet.
“It’s incredibly exciting and I think this is a film that’s made for cinema. I think it’s something people will really like, and something will come out of it.”
