Frank Prendergast agrees to do Breakfast

After holding casting sessions in both Cork and Dublin we are delighted to announce that Frank Prendergast has agreed to join Jody O’Neill in our upcoming short film Breakfast.

Breakfast is a piece I first saw in Project Brand New and it has stayed in my mind ever since. I thought it would make a good short-film the first time I saw it and, after discussing it with Jody, we agreed to see if I was right.

In Breakfast we meet two happily married people who can not cope with the rising inflation as they share one last breakfast together. Although written before the current recession hit, it will no doubt now be viewed as a response piece. When the film finally makes it to the screen I will be interested to see the differences in the audience responses now to those of Project Brand New.

I have been looking for an excuse to work with Jody O’Neill for some time now so casting the female role was an easy decision. Completing casting of a production is always a relief, but Frank brought so much of what I am looking for, from this character, into his audition that I am also very excited about capturing the film I have in my mind on camera.

We film Thursday and Friday of next week so check back soon for updates on the project.
