With the film hitting Irish cinemas this Friday, Terry McMahon's Patrick's Day has cored quite the coup in America, having being selected as the winner of the 2015 Manhattan Short Feature Film Project. What this means for the film is that it will screen in fifty cinemas across the United States, with audiences at each venue then voting on whether the film should return for a theatrical release later in 2015. If the majority of the votes come back as 'yes', the producers can choose for Patrick's Day to return to that venue for a series of screenings later in the year. It's a fantastic and totally deserving achievement for the film, especially with the news coming so close to the film's Irish release, opening it up to a wider audience.
