The pair strike up a friendship and go on an adventure.Producers are Kate McColgan for Irish outfit Calico Pictures and Vivien Muller-Rommel and Michael Lehmann for Studio Hamburg UK.
Casting is now underway. Kerr is doing a director’s pass of the script and shoot is provisionally set up for autumn 2020. The team are looking at filming in Northern Ireland but other options are being considered. Screenwriter Blaney said the project was inspired by his part-time teaching work in Northern Ireland.
“Christmas is a really difficult time of the year for some people. I wished the kids a happy Christmas and one of them, 12 years old, said, ‘Christmas is shite’.
