Academy Award® nominated and Golden Globe® winning actress Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, Muriel’s Wedding) is now confirmed to star in the lead role of new feature film MAMMAL (not to be confused with Manimal). Irish rising star Barry Keoghan (Love/Hate, Trespass Against Us) will play opposite her in the film which will be directed by Rebecca Daly.
The movie is a compelling and unorthodox love story between a woman (Griffiths) who has lost her son in tragic circumstances and the relationship she develops with a homeless youth (Keoghan).
The film which will shoot in Dublin and Luxembourg in October was selected as part of the first Berlinale Residency, a programme organised by the Berlin International Film Festival to support writer/directors develop their new projects.
