Secrecy surrounds new film being shot in Kerry and west Cork

Work began on the exciting project on Monday and the crew for the film have set up a base in Kenmare as they work on the feature film, which it is hoped will be released next year.

'Whitetail’ tells the story of Jen McCarthy and her old boyfriend Oscar who returns to her small town in southern Ireland forcing her to face the tragedy that marked them for life.

It is a Dutch/Irish/Belgian co-production and is written and directed by Nanouk Leopold. However, secrecy surrounds the cast and the exact locations of filming are being kept under wraps

The Kerryman understands that the film is being shot in west Cork, including in Glengarriff, and in Kerry in locations close to Kenmare and on the Beara peninsula and filming will take place over the coming month. The beauty of South Kerry will be showcased to the world when the film is released.

There is a significant crew for the production in the area as well as the cast but locals too may appear in the new film as extras have been sought for which has caused great excitement in the town.
