Rebecca Daly’s new drama Mammal, which has just had its world premiere in the World Drama Competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in Utah, stars Rachel Griffiths as a grieving mother battling both her violent ex-husband (Michael McElhatton) and her interest in the homeless young man (Barry Keoghan) she meets at her local swimming pool. Their tentative trust is threatened by his involvement with a violent gang and the escalation of her ex-husband’s grieving rage.
Mammal was produced by Macdara Kelleher and Conor Barry for Fastnet Films and was funded by the Irish Film Board (IFB), Luxembourg Film Fund, BAI, TV3 and the Netherlands Film Fund.The film will be distributed by Wildcard Distribution and is set for an Irish cinema release later this year.
