CALM WITH Horses, the critically acclaimed film from BAFTA and Sundance Festival award nominee Nick Rowland, and shot at numerous locations around Galway city and county, is getting an early digital release.
The film, starring Cosmo Jarvis (Peaky Blinders ), Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk ), and Niamh Algar (The Virtues, The Bisexual ), was shot mostly in Woodford, Loughrea, Rosroe, Gort, Killimor, and Wellpark in Galway city. It was written by Joe Murtagh, and among the executive producers is Michael Fassbender.
The film has been called "a firecracker" by The Telegraph, while Mark Kermode in The Observer said it, “pulls the viewer right into the raging bull mindset of its haunted protagonist”.
