‘Brown Bread' is the title of the eagerly anticipated debut short film, written and directed by double Emmy-nominated documentarian, Longford’s Shaunagh Connaire.

This modern twist on the Irish emigration story is led by Emmy-winning actress Fionnula Flanagan (“Lost,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes”), Katie McGrath (“Merlin,” “Supergirl”) and Dermot Crowley (“Luther: The Fallen Sun,” “The Death of Stalin”).

Filmed entirely in County Longford, in this short film, Shaunagh has pulled from her own experiences and turns her storytelling lens towards emigration and family tension in modern Ireland.

Supported by Creative Ireland and Longford County Council along with the local community, ‘Brown Bread' will premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh on Wednesday 6 June with a local debut screening in Backstage Theatre Longford (by invite only) on Saturday 12 June.
