Written by Diarmuid De Faoite and Justin McCarthy, with music by Justin McCarthy, the musical is a live version of their award winning radio play broadcast by RTE."

Finding You - Official Trailer
We’re so excited to share the trailer for Finding You, a new romantic comedy featuring Castaway clients Ciarán McMahon and Helen Roche. Ciarán plays Seán, a loving father who runs the bed-and-breakfast where Finley comes to stay. Helen plays Fiona, sister of Cathleen; they haven’t been speaking to each other for many years…why? Violinist Finley Sinclair travels to an Irish coastal village to begin her semester studying abroad. At the bed-and-breakfast run by her host family, she encounters Beckett Rush, a handsome actor who’s filming another installment of his medieval movie franchise. As romance sparks between the unlikely pair, Beckett ignites a journey of discovery for Finley — transforming her heart, her music and her outlook on life. Written and directed by Brian Baugh, the film also stars Rose Reid, Katherine McNamara, Patrick Bergin, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, and Judith Hoag, with Tom Everett Scott and Vanessa Redgrave. It was shot exclusively in Ireland, in and around Dublin, Claire, Offaly and Kildare. The film’s “village set” location was in the beautiful town of Carlingford. The film was released in US Theaters on May 14th, so keep an eye out for it in Irish cinemas and screens soon! http://castawayactors.com/2021/06/finding-you/
