St. Louisan from County Mayo, Ireland, Anthony Monaghan, has landed a worldwide distribution deal for his documentary film, Rednecks & Culchies. Monaghan has accomplished something very rare in the film industry, and that is being given a distribution deal with a Hollywood heavyweight like Brinkvision, without a celebrity presence in the film.
"Anthony's film is incredibly unique, so it makes up for the lack of a known actor on film. Brinkvision is banking on Tony Monaghan because he's done something no one else has done with this movie, and we're excited about it," says an executive with Apothecary Films.
Running his own business in construction, two worlds collided as Monaghan became acquainted with a very different part of American society, and cultural barriers softened as the men worked together. As a self-proclaimed 'culchie' from poor beginnings in Ireland, he is accepting of the men on his crews and everything that comes along with it. Rednecks & Culchies portrays the irony of a working class Irishman in America who becomes successful, yet is surrounded by working class American men with drug and alcohol addictions. The film examines the American working class from the perspective of Irish working men. While Monaghan is often baffled by the lifestyle of his construction workers, he sees promise in them, befriends them and continues to give them a chance.
Rednecks & Culchies is a riveting account of the harsh way of life for those battling drug addictions, as it peers into a raw, hidden world. It is equally compelling in its humor and good-hearted nature as it weaves into the working days and moments of these rednecks and culchies, from the curious perspective of Anthony Monaghan. The film will be available on Amazon, Netflix and many other online sources early next year. For more information visit: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3257064/
