Two films shot entirely on location in Wexford will have their World Premieres at the 2026 Galway Film Fleadh on Saturday 11th July. Both films are funded by Screen Ireland and were brought to Wexford by local producer Fiona Kinsella.
Feed
Feed is a feature length horror film produced by Ripple World Pictures, written and directed by Marco Van Belle and line produced by Fiona Kinsella The film stars Clinton Liberty (House of Dragons and Holding), Daisy Jelly (How To Have Sex), Rhys Mannionn, Niamh Hogan, Oskar Smith, Charlotte Bradley, Molly McCann, Flynn Gray and Wexford Actress Sadhbh McMullin.
When quiet, withdrawn Orla accompanies influencer friend Nessa and some of her trendy friends to a rural Irish manor house in the middle of nowhere, it’s clear the weekend will be full of drama and personality clashes. As tensions mount in the house, something even darker is happening in the forest. Their internal dramas quickly fade as Orla realises that they have inadvertently awoken the ancient vampire Dearg Due from her slumber – and she’s hungry!
The Quiet Ocean
The Quiet Ocean will premiere as part of Screen Ireland’s Focus Shorts programme. Starring Jennifer Zamparelli, Juliette Crosbie and Geralind McAlinden. The film was directed by Katie McNeice, written by Barry Smyth an produced by Fiona Kinsella for Tile Media.
In 2063, as the climate finally collapses, the world has descended into war and chaos. The Quiet Ocean Hotel offers a service where guests can end their lives in peace. The receptionist Kansas has the habit of convincing guests not to check in. When Maria arrives to check in, Kansas is caught off guard. Kansas attempts to figure Maria out, as the night goes on, she realises she is drawn to Maria, and the idea that she will be gone by morning is a hard. In a world without hope, what might happen to the last two people ever to fall in love?
Feed was shot on location in and around Monalee. The Quiet Ocean was shot on location in Ballytrent House.
