The reviews for BALLYWALTER are in! The Irish Independent says “Patrick Kielty is a revelation and Seána Kerslake exemplary in this moving drama. Together they created something wonderful, something unique, something that deserves to find an audience. Armed with a moving, meaningful screenplay by Stacey Gregg, BALLYWALTER speaks only when it needs to. It is, at its core, a refreshingly honest tale about depression, about what happens when the light begins to fade”.
Dublin actress Seána Kerslake has revealed she kept a Belfast accent when filming her new film BALLYWALTER. The film will hit UK and Irish audiences on Friday, September 22 — the same day as Kielty’s second episode hosting THE LATE LATE SHOW. The comedy-drama follows Shane (Kielty) who has exiled himself to Ballywalter following the break-up of his marriage. He tries to get his life back on track by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course.
A new film starring County Down-born comedian and presenter Patrick Kielty is to get its world premiere in Belfast on Nov 3. The drama BALLYWALTER was shot on a number of locations on the Ards Peninsula and in Belfast.
Kielty has acted on stage before but this is his first feature-film role.
