‘Skintown’, directed by Kieron J. Walsh and shot by Ruairí O’Brien, BSC, ISC has won the Sean Connery Prize for Feature Filmmaking Excellence at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival.

“Walsh’s Skintown beat out nine other features in the EIFF competition. The prize comes with £50,000 to support future projects. Skintown follows best friends Vinny and Jonty who party, cut deals and plan to escape small-town life in Northern Ireland during the 1994 ceasefire.”

Congrats to Ruairí and the ‘Skintown’ team!
