DONEGAL filmmaker Gerard Lough is currently looking for new artists or bands who would like to contribute a song to his ambitious new short film ‘Waiting for Magic Hour’.
In the film, Brazilian newcomer Aline Panini plays a photographer who is sent to Donegal for a weekend to shoot some of the county’s most sweeping scenery.
A local man, played by Donegal actor Aidan O’Sullivan, is assigned to drive her around and very soon their different personalities clash in humorous and unexpected ways. Nevertheless, they gradually form a friendship over the course of their road trip.
The scenery includes a vast array of Donegal locations that include Inishowen Lighthouse, Errigal Mountain, the ruins of Dunlewey Church, and the shipwreck at Bunbeg Beach.
“We’ve literally gone from one end of the county to the other in search of the very best scenery,” Gerard said.
The film will be dedicated to Gerard’s late father Pat who passed away last year.
“Dad had a passion for photography and a respect for the craftsmanship that goes into both still photography and cinematography.
“This little film will pay tribute to him and all the photographers of the world.”
‘Waiting for Magic Hour’ will make its debut on the film festival circuit in early 2024. As well as the exposure, the producers will be offering a small fee to the chosen artist.
