It was shot in Galway last December and was directed by Eamon Quinlan and produced by Emmet O’Malley.

This will be followed by Secret Hiding Place (2008 ), produced and directed by Emmet O’Malley. Set in rural Ireland in the 1980s, it tells of how a young gay man’s secret is revealed over the weekend of a family stations Mass.
