Arrogance - 'On Our Way' blurb...

Pre-production is already underway for Fergal Rock's latest film, 'On Our Way'.

The events of ‘On Our Way’ unfold over the course of a single night. The film tells the story of Thomas and Anna, two lost souls on the outskirts of society. For Thomas and Anna, nights are their days. Anna works as a waitress at Lou’s Casino, Thomas works behind the bar at ‘Charlie’s’. The story is set in a place of crumbling beauty characterised by empty run down cinemas, dance halls and diners. This is Edward Hopper territory.

When Anna, desperate to find love, places a personal ad in the local newspaper Thomas, heartbroken but anxious to move on, calls her up but the line is engaged. Later, after a disastrous date Anna flees to the all-night cinema where a chance encounter with Thomas leads to a surprising night of coffee, dancing, smashing beer bottles and who knows, perhaps even falling in love.

‘On Our Way’ is a tale of attraction, a film about two people who meet by chance, look in to each other’s eyes and see themselves.

The film stars Dorothy Cotter (‘Henry & Sunny’, ‘Bel’s Boys’, ‘The Clinic’), Matthew Keenan (‘Henry & Sunny’, ‘The Tudors’, ‘The Clinic’), Tony Leddy ('Henry & Sunny') and Noni Stapleton ('Henry & Sunny').

Fergal Rock (‘Henry & Sunny’, ‘Tom Waits Made Me Cry’) will direct from his own script. The Director of Photography is Orla Russell-Conway (‘Henry & Sunny’, ‘Full Circle’), and the film will be edited by Nick Callan (‘Henry & Sunny’) and produced by Noni Stapleton.

‘On Our Way’ will be shot entirely on location in Dublin. Filming is due to commence the last week in November.
