Aislinn Clarke (The Devil’s Doorway) has just started production on Fréwaka, a horror film that’s currently lending in Ireland, reports ScreenDaily.
Fréwaka follows the story of a student palliative care nurse, played by Monnelly, who is plagued by a trauma from her past that has a disorienting effect on her present – her relationship, her career and her ability to function.
The feature stars Clare Monnelly (Moone Boy), Bríd Ní Neachtain (The Banshees of Inisherin and a recent IFTA winner for Róise & Frank), and Ukrainian actress Aleksandra Bystrzhitskaya (F20), adds the site
Fréwaka will be told in both Irish and English. The title originates from the Irish word fréamhacha, meaning roots.
Clarke’s feature film The Devil’s Doorway, pictured, was the first Irish horror to be directed by an Irish female filmmaker.
Fréwaka is produced by Dermot Lavery for DoubleBand Films and Patrick O’Neill for Wildcard, with Greg Martin acting as executive producer for Screen Ireland.
Production on the feature will take place in Ravensdale and Carlingford in Co Louth.
