Irish thriller causing stir in Hollywood

HE’S a plumber by day and an actor by night, but Michael Crowley shouldn’t be unblocking pipes for too much longer.

The Clonakilty man is the star of Winter’s End, a contemporary thriller set in rural Ireland that is causing a stir in Hollywood film circles.

The film, directed and produced by Kilkenny natives Patrick Kenny and Declan Donnelly respectively, has been invited by California-based Cinequest Online to compete in the prestigious second annual Viewers Voice Awards.
