The Wake Wood

We kick started our 2011 Citrus season off with the premiere of Wake Wood and a talk from the Director, David Keating.
"A horror film that also stirs the heart is a rare combination, but The Wake Wood is just that. Writer-Director David Keating, Co-Writer Brendan McCarthy and their great cast have created a special movie that transcends genre." Greg Newman, MPI.
Not due for release internationally until spring, we were joined on the evening by the cast and crew who included Timothy Spall (The King's Speech, Harry Potter, The Damned United), Aidan Gillen (The Wire, Queer As Folk, Ten Rounds) and Eva Birthistle (A Fond Kiss, The Children).
David Keating's first feature 'The Last of the High Kings' starred Jared Leto, Gabriel Byrne and Christina Ricci, and he adapted the script with co-writer Gabriel Byrne. His screenwriting also includes work for Columbia/Sony Pictures and on Jim Sheridan's script of Mike Newell's 'Into the West'. He also makes film and TV documentaries and is currently working on 'Sharp Knives - Soft Targets', a film about the relationship between Knife Throwers and their Assistants! He has also directed a number of critically acclaimed theatre productions, the most recent of which was 'Never Look in the Mirror When You're Dancing'.
