Writer and Director, Eva Birthistle was joined by actors Hazel Doupe, Peter Coonan and Liadan Dunlea along with producer Claire McCaughley for the Gala Preview screening of the highly anticipated film “Kathleen Is Here”.
The heartwarming movie is a story about not fitting in and seeking meaning in life when it feels like perhaps there is none.
Starring Hazel Doupe, Clare Dunne and Peter Coonan, the film follows Kathleen, aged 18 who is fresh out of foster care.
“Her departure coincides with the death of her biological mother and so she returns to her hometown to take ownership of her mother’s house,” the official synopsis reads.
“She gets a job and even a friend; but the emptiness of Kathleen’s life cannot be filled by social media and reality shows.
“Alone and desperate for a mother figure, she sets out on a destructive path to find one.”
Also spotted on the night along with the cast included Eva’s husband Ross Barr and her Bad Sisters co-star Sarah Greene as well as actor friends Norma Sheehan, Ali Hardiman and Amy Huberman.
Kathleen Is Here goes on general release on October 18.
