Noel Brady wraps on TV pilot 'Ghostriders'

Coupled with this great news for ‘True-D’. Noel has just wrapped on his new TV pilot/demo 'Ghostriders'. Starring Pat Nolan and Dave Duffy of 'Fair City' fame. The show follows two motorcyclists (Duffy and Nolan) as they travel around Ireland visiting haunted places. On arrival they meet a local expert (performed by Gerry Wade in the pilot) who tells them the story of how the respective venue came to be haunted. The aim of the show is to make it more about history and less about trying to catch ghosts on camera. It will also feature the vast beauty of this country, highlighting in each episode the various locations.

Production begins on “Án Táin, the Fall of Ferdia” short.

A short film based on the ancient Irish myth “Án Táin” written, produced and directed by Noel Brady has begun production, with principle photography starting last Friday the 26th of November.

For the first part of this production phase, we converted a warehouse in Richmond Road Dublin into a studio for the duration, and with no heating and sub-zero temperatures outside it was a tough shoot. However that not withstanding, we over came these challenges and were successful in producing the first part of what will be a three part production.

With the second and third leg of the production to take place in the new year. A big big thanks to all who braved the elements and helped to make this film a reality.
