Plunkett film heading for Cannes festival

'Out There’, a post apocalyptic horror film from Dunsany Productions, has added to its awards, at the Lit Film Festival in Limerick. The short film has just been accepted to play Short Film Corner as part of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, from 15th to 26th May.
Randal Plunkett, Lord Dunsany, the director and producer of the film, accepted the Limerick award for best industry short film with line producer, Alan Byrne.  It was the second award the film has received in the last few weeks, following one at the Movie Days Horror Convention, in Dortmund Germany, where it was awarded best short.  'Out There’ also received four other nominations by LIT including best director, best camera, best lighting and best drama.
The film stars Conor Marren and Irish sensation Emma Eliza Regan, and follows Rob (Marren) who wakes up deep in the woods having receiving a head wound. Not knowing how he got there and suffering from temporary amnesia, he begins to re-trace his steps trying to discover what has happened to him and his girlfriend Jane (Regan). His journey through the calm Irish countryside turns out to be far more dangerous then he could have possibly imagined.
Out There Was filmed completely on the Dunsany Castle Estate  during the spring of 2012, shot using the Red Scarlet camera. The films editing was by Plunkett and post production sound was done at Moynihan Russell Studios, Dublin.
The film is also to screen at other international film festivals which include The Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam, Skopje Film Festival Macedonia, Dundee Horror Film Festival, Scotland, and Fright Night Film Festival in Kentucky USA, which is the largest genre festival in mid America.
