Locals row in behind making of film

THE producer of a new movie shot in west Cork has cast locals in the final cut and has asked local musicians to collaborate on the score, as a “thank-you” for their support.

Principal photography on supernatural comedy The Blow-Ins — a new short film supported by Cork County Council in association with the Cork Screen Commission (CSC) — has just been completed.

Written and directed by CJ Scuffins, and produced by Raymond McSweeney and Jill Sartini for Story Factory, Ireland, it was shot on location in the picturesque villages of Courtmacsherry and Kilbrittain, and at other coastal locations across west Cork.
