NEW RELEASE
The Forced Redundancy Film Club - Brian Finnegan (2012)
What would you do if the world around you was crumbling and you had just lost your job? Would you move on and start looking for a new one, sit and dwell on the negative, or would you start a club ? Qwertec Solutions is letting its staff go one by one due to recession cutbacks. Five Dublin colleagues are among those who are made redundant. Never having really spent much time together in the past, career girl Katherine, alcoholic Marcus, stressed SAHM Lisa, sarcastic gay guy Jake and oddball Alice find themselves sharing a few rounds of beer and as the night winds down they start talking about movies. They form The Forced Redundancy Film Club where each of them take turns each month showing a classic film of their choice. Over the next year, the group will learn what it means to have real friendships and that no matter what problem they have going on in their lives they will always have each other. (PP)
