A thin plot doesn’t dampen the sunny energy of this low-budget comedy, starring writer-director Dave Minogue’s real nephew
Surprisingly few films feature uncle-nephew bonding that isn’t straight-up creepy, but this Irish comedy is all about a depressed single man named Al (Trevor O’Connell) looking after his sister’s smart but cheeky pre-adolescent kid Karl (Ryan Minogue-Lee) for a week. It was apparently partly inspired by the relationship between writer-director Dave Minogue, making his feature debut here, and his pint-sized star, who is his own nephew in real life. Perhaps that real-life inspiration accounts for the authentic feel in the connection between the two leads, relatives who at first barely know each other but who grow close during a road trip around the Republic.

"Sometimes people find life just really hard, and go to dark places..." Kaleidoscope Ent. has released the official trailer for an Irish indie road trip adventure film titled Poster Boys, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Dave Minogue. This originally premiered at last year's Galway Film Fleadh and will be released later this year. With the help of his smart ass kid nephew, broke Al Clancy steals a camper-van and heads on a cross country road trip to finally get his life together. "A semi-autobiographical comedy featuring a range of brilliant new Irish talent (and a cameo from Boyzone's Keith Duffy), this festival favourite is a road-trip adventure with undeniable heart and an uplifting message at its core; that families need to look out for each other no matter what circumstances they may find themselves in." The indie film stars Trevor O'Connell, Ryan Minogue-Lee, Norma Sheehan, and Amy Hughes.

Programme director Will Fitzgerald reveals programme highlights.
Ireland’s Galway Film Fleadh is embracing the disruption of 2020 by aiming to reach as wide an audience as possible with a digital edition taking place online from July 7th – July 12th.
