Life’s a Breeze Secures Autumn US Release
Lance Daly’s film Life’s a Breeze, starring Fionnula Flanagan and Pat Shortt, will be released in the United States on September 19th. The film will be released in Los Angeles and New York as well as VOD, followed by a national rollout.
The film is a dramatic comedy which follows a family struggling to stay afloat and together through tough times. When the family makes a well-intentioned attempt to clean out their mother’s house and accidently thrashes a mattress in which she has been storing her life savings, Nan (Flanagan; The Others, The Guard), her unemployed slacker son Colm (Shortt; Garage, Calvary) and his niece Emma (Kelly Thornton; Love/Hate) must overcome their differences to lead their family in a race against time to find a lost fortune.
Life’s a Breeze is Daly’s second feature film after his critically acclaimed debut Kisses, which won the Best Director and Best Editing awards at the Irish Film and Television Awards, and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film.
Life’s a Breeze joins a number of other Irish films in securing a US release this autumn, including Cartoon Saloon’s Song of the Sea, Ivan Kavanagh’s horror feature The Canal and Des Doyle’s documentary Showrunners.
