Saipan in Cinemas Now / Cast with the help of Fishpond

SAIPAN is in cinemas now, cast with the help of Fishpond. Congratulations to all the cast and crew - let's get out there and support Irish filmmaking.

Director: Lisa Barrs D'Sa / Glenn Leyburn

Casting: Áine O'Sullivan 

Starring: Éanna Hardwicke / Steve Coogan / Peter McDonald

"Having qualified for the 2002 World Cup, led by talismanic captain Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke, displaying an impressive glower and very much the hero of the piece) and under the management of Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan), the Republic of Ireland team arrive on the titular island to prepare for their campaign.

Driven and uncompromising, Keane grows increasingly frustrated with the poor resources and his teammates’ lack of commitment. Open hostility quickly breaks out between him and the ever-more downtrodden and woebegone McCarthy in a film with appeal far beyond that of the football audience."
