<p>I leave for New York this week in preparation of the film screenings that take place from New York to Detroit through Philly, Baltimore, Hamilton in Canada and Rochester. We have produced two feature films based on true stories from the Famine era. The first, "The Minnitts of Anabeg," will screen in the Aisling Center in Yonkers on Wednesday, July 15.

<p>I leave for New York this week in preparation of the film screenings that take place from New York to Detroit through Philly, Baltimore, Hamilton in Canada and Rochester. We have produced two feature films based on true stories from the Famine era. The first, "The Minnitts of Anabeg," will screen in the Aisling Center in Yonkers on Wednesday, July 15. "The Cormack Brothers" screens on July 22.</p>
<p>We are screening to an Irish-American audience at this stage, taking the films and their emotive stories on the road to showcase our work. Then it will be more widely available. Though made on a micro budget, they are strong productions that tell a powerful story from an important time in Irish history. More screenings to come, but for now hope to see you there.</p>'The Cormack Brothers' -- A Dramatic Film About Injustice in Tipptag:thewildgeese.irish,2015-07-02:6442157:BlogPost:1633812015-07-02T21:30:00.000ZAlan Brownhttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/AlanBrown

They were reburied in 1910 in their home parish of Loughmore. </p>
<p>Made on a micro budget, with the support of the parish of Loughmore, we were able to film in the area of the murder, using locations from the period. A trailer can be seen at <a href="http://www.krownfilms.com" target="_self">www.krownfilms.com</a>; This is the second in a trilogy of films based on true stories from the Famine era. The first is titled "The Minnitts of Anabeg." We are in pre-production for the third feature.</p>
<p>I will be in New York this July to screen the film in Irish-American centers. Both features are being screened at the Aisling Center in Yonkers on the 15th and 22nd of July, at 7:30pm. I will be giving a talk about the true story behind each film. </p>
<p>Can anyone suggest another venue in New York or surrounding areas? </p>
<p>Thanks for reading and hope to see you at a screening.</p>
