ODDITY goes to SXSW
SXSW is a key festival on the International scene and is one of the biggest and most prestigious film selections in the world. Founded in 1987 in Austin, Texas; SXSW is best known for its conference and festivals that celebrate the convergence of the interactive, film and music industries.
Keeper Pictures previously has had great success at SXSW – in 2012, CITADEL (Ciaran Foy) won the Midnighters Audience Award; in 2019, EXTRA ORDINARY(Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman) premiered in the Narrative Feature Competition; and in 2020, THE RACER (Kieron J. Walsh) was selected for the festival’s Narrative Spotlight section.
Katie Holly and Evan Horan from Keeper Pictures will be in attendance alongside producer Laura Tunstall and writer/director Damian McCarthy.
ODDITY is a co-production with Nowhere, written and directed by Damien McCarthy (Caveat), and starring Gwilym Lee (The Great), Carolyn Bracken (You Are Not My Mother), Tadhg Murphy (Vikings), Caroline Menton, Steve Wall (The English) and Jonathan French (Dublin Crust).
Producer Evan Horan had this to say “All at Keeper Pictures and Nowhere are delighted to have Damian McCarthy’s ODDITY world premiere at SXSW, making its way from West Cork to to Austin, Texas. We want to thank our incredible cast and crew for their hard work across the shoot; and we can’t wait to show our film to the SXSW audiences, who are exactly the fans of horror and genre that we made this film for!”
