‘You’re Ugly Too’ with Aidan Gillen and Lauren Kinsella
Mark Noonan’s ‘You’re Ugly Too’ will be released in South Korea, Israel, Turkey, Denmark and Romania after German sales agents Picture Tree International secured deals at this month’s American Film Market. The film has also been just been released to 50 cinemas in Germany as well as being selected to represent Ireland at the 28th American Film Institute European Union Film Showcase will take place in Washington DC from December 1st to 20th.

‘You’re Ugly Too’ has so far won Best Irish First Feature at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh and the SDGI Director’s Finders Series. It was also nominated for the Best First Feature Award at the Berlinale Festival, where it had its premiere in Official Selection. It also won Screenplay Awards at festivals in Athens and the Skip City Film Festival in Japan.

Speaking to IFTN about the success of the film internationally, producer John Keville of Savage Productions said: “We are really excited that ‘You're Ugly Too’ continues to sell internationally, especially as Pandora Film Distribution have just released the film this weekend on fifty screens in Germany. ‘You're Ugly Too’ continues its festival run internationally at the Irish Film Festival London and the upcoming Poznan Intl Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino in Poland.”

Written and directed by Mark Noonan, ‘You’re Ugly Too’ stars Aidan Gillen (‘Game of Thrones’) as Will, who is released from prison on compassionate leave to care for his niece Stacey (Lauren Kinsella; ‘Albert Nobbs’), after the death of her mother. As they both head into the sleepy Irish midlands and attempt to be a family, they suffer a series of setbacks; Stacey is refused admission to the local school because of her recently developed narcolepsy; Will repeatedly comes close to breaking his prison-ordered curfew; and his attempts at being a father figure to her prove disastrous.

Funded by the Irish Film Board, ‘You’re Ugly Too’ was produced by John Keville and Conor Barry for Savage Productions and filmed in Dublin and Offaly.

‘You’re Ugly Too’ was released to Irish cinemas on July 24 and is currently available to rent or buy on DVD nationwide from retailers (HMV/Xtravision, Tesco, Tower Records, Golden Discs, IFI Store) or online via elementpictures.ie, and On Demand from Volta, iTunes, and Virgin Media.
