White Irish Drinkers Synopsis: It’s early autumn of 1975 in Brooklyn and 18 year-old Brian Leary (Nick Thurston) is killing time, pulling off petty crimes with his street tough older brother Danny (Geoff Wigdor), whom he both idolizes and fears. They both live with their parents, Paddy (Stephen Lang), a longshoreman, and his long suffering wife, Margaret (Karen Allen) who puts up with Paddy’s drinking and abusive behavior, especially to her and Danny. Though Paddy has never been physically abusive to Brian, every time he sees his brother’s suffering, his heart breaks a little more. Brian works for Whitey (Peter Riegert) at the failing Lafayette movie theater. Owing money to local mobsters, Whitey calls in a favor to an old friend who works with The Rolling Stones. They come up with a deal to have the Stones play at Whitey’s theater for one night only before their gig at Madison Square Garden and Brian is put in charge of getting the word out to everyone in the neighborhood. In the twists and turns that follow on the night of the concert, both brothers must reexamine their dreams, and make decisions that will change their lives forever. Written and directed by John Gray, “White Irish Drinkers” was produced by Gray and Melissa Jo Peltier for Ovington Avenue Productions and Paul Bernard and James Scura for Bernard/Scura Productions.
White Irish Drinkers will be released to theaters on March 25th, 2011. Watch the trailer and check out the full poster below.
I just got my ticket for Craic Fest, and noticed that White Irish Drinkers is going to be showing there! A friend of mine saw the flick at Toronto Film Festival, and said it was awesome. Definitely looking forward to it, especially after watching the trailer. Really seems worth a watch!
