Post work is currently being carried out on ‘Lotus Eaters’, a new feature film written by Brendan Grant and Alexandra McGuinness who is also directing. The drama stars Antonia Campbell Hughes (Bright Star), Benn Northover (Abyss), Cynthia Fortune (Every Thing) and Johnny Flynn (Crusade Jeans) .

‘Lotus Eaters’ shot for five weeks in August and September 2010 with Gareth Munden (Mike) on board as director of photography. The film shot in Wicklow, Westmeath and London city. The feature’s soundtrack is provided by Birger Clausen (Outta Control). It is currently being edited in Dublin’s Optical Sandwich by Bert Hunger (Horses) and is due for delivery in April. The film’s release date is TBC.

In ‘Lotus Eaters’, the party never stops for Alice, an ex-model and struggling actress; Felix who has been trying to leave his girlfriend since they got together and Charlie, a gifted musician who has lost control over his life. But Alex, Charlie and Feliz are caught in a self-destructive lifestyle that is ever more threatening to their fragile friendships and their own lives.

Written by Alexandra McGuinness (actress, P.S. I Love You) and Brendan Grant (The Englishman) and directed by Alexandra, the feature is produced by Mark Lee (Play) and co-produced by Fastnet Films’ Morgan Bushe (The Runway).

Co-producer Morgan Bushe voiced his delight at working with first time feature director, Alexandra McGuinness, telling IFTN: ”We’re delighted to be in a position to be able to support Alexandra with the making of her debut picture. She's a young talented Irish director that we feel has a distinct cinematic voice.”

Budget information for the feature is currently unavailable but it received €100,000 from the Irish Film Board. Morgan Bushe is very happy with how the film’s shoot went, telling us: ”For a first time feature it was an extremely ambitious script in terms of its scale and it's a testament to the hard work shown by both the crew and the large ensemble cast that made it possible for the shoot to go as well and productively as it did.”
