All of Beara will be tuned into TG4 on Wednesday next 29th Nov. to the short film, 'Inion and Fiachlóra, written and directed by Jackie O'Neill, Eyeries and filmed earlier this year in Eyeries.  The story is a surreal black comedy, set in Castlequinn, a fictional town, owned and controlled by one man - the Dentist, Quinn, a.k.a. the local T.D., Garda, publican and shopkeeper.  A new kid in town falls in love with the Dentist's daughter and discovers, painfully, that she's bad for his teeth!  A lot of young people starred in the film, namely: Gerard Harrington, Eyeries Cross, Kevin & Grainne Leahy, John Sullivan, Kilcatherine, Noreen O'Shea & Conor O'Sullivan, Eyeries Village, Leanne O'Sullivan & Irene Downing, Urhan, Claire O'Sullivan, Garnish, Patrick Harrington & Joseph Martin-Sullivan, Castletownbere.  Disco Dancers included: Emer Leahy, Louise Harrington, Sarah & Simon Gowran, Conchubhar Harrington, Aoife Murphy, Niamh Murphy, Gary Hanley, Elaine O'Driscoll, Michelle O'Shea, Nicole O'Shea, Grace Daly, Kenneth Harrington, Kieran Sullivan, Jean Cronin, Lavinia Harrington, Aoife Cahill, Laura O'Sullivan, Lorraine Crowley, Michelle O'Sullivan, Elaine O'Brien, Elaine O'Sullivan, Catherine O'Sullivan, Marian O'Sullivan, Marie O'Dwyer, Rory Finch, James Power, Liam Williams, Brendan Lotty, David Williams, Richard Power, Nathan Healy-Potter, & 'Trigger' the dog.  The D.J. was Micheal Martin-Sullivan.  Special mention to Brian O'Neill of Eyeries Village who was the moterbike/stunt double.  Huge effort behind the scenes was given by many local people also.

Jackie is not new to writing, having penned the very successful film, 'The Nephew', which starred Pierce Brosnan.  We wish her the best of luck in her career for the future.
