Go see ‘Joyride’ you won’t be disappointed
Wednesday’s premiere of 'Joyride' was organised in conjunction with Screen Kerry.
That organisation’s Siobhan O’Sullivan said: “as well as being a movie about motherhood and friendship, Joyride is inherently a love letter to the county. Its success shows the potential Kerry has to welcome many more productions to the county.”
She is right, not only is ‘Joyride’ an advert for the movie business, it is an advert for Kerry tourism, and while many of the locations were off the traditional tourists paths (Carragh Lake, The Short Mountain and Brosna all feature) it will inspire movie lovers to visit these areas.
It was also the shot in the arm for that the Kerry film industry badly needed. ‘Joyride’ was filmed over a ten-week period last summer while the county was still in the depths of Covid-19 restrictions. If this is what the movie industry in Kerry can deliver under restriction, imagine what can be achieved without any setbacks.
Well done all involved and, Killarney Advertiser readers, go see it as soon as you can – you won’t be disappointed.
