Galway actors head up ‘The Callback Queen’

The Callback Queen, a comedy starring up and coming Galway actors Amy-Joyce Hastings (The Tudors) and Seán T. Ó Meallaigh (An Klondike) in the leading roles will open at IMC Galway for one week only from this Friday, October 2.

The film originally had its world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh where it was warmly received by the full house in attendance. The series of Galway screenings follow a theatrical release in both Northern Ireland and Dublin, as well as an exclusive run in the US Cinema owned by Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin.

Irish director Graham Cantwell wrote and directed the film, which picked up an International Sales deal at Cannes earlier this Summer. His previous feature film Anton was also picked up at Cannes as well as landing three IFTA nominations.

The indie flick should appeal to a range of audiences, including fans of comedy, romance, epic fantasy and showbiz stories.

The plot sees Hastings play a vivacious Irish actress in the cutthroat London film industry, striving to land a role in an epic fantasy film, directed by Vincent Catalano (Mark Killeen).

The fantasy film within The Callback Queen, called Prince of Chaos stars Irish actor Eoin Macken (‘Merlin’), currently making it big in the US as the lead in NBC hit army doctor series The Night Shift and just announced as cast for the final Resident Evil movie.

The film also stars Mark Killeen (Game of Thrones), Ger Ryan (Intermission), and I’m A Celebrity’s Vicki Michelle (of ‘Allo, ‘Allo fame).
