Set during the worst of the Irish potato famine, Lance Daly's Black 47 turns national starvation into a blunt, brutal Western and chase thriller, starring James Frecheville as an Irishman who goes all John Rambo on the British occupiers.

Ep 1. Black 47 Turns Ireland's Famine Into A Revenge Western

For his 2014 debut, Irish writer-director Tom Ryan headed home to Nenagh, Tipperary to shoot Trampoline, an immensely likeable, low budget coming of age story with Aoife Spratt as Angie, a wounded drifter drafted in to teach English at the local comprehensive.
