Talent

Brand new series How to get to Heaven from Belfast has hit our screens! With lead Cinematography by Ashley Barron ACS (directed by Michael Lennox) and Cinematography by Dan Stafford-Clark (Eps 7&8, directed by Rachna Suri).

Written and created by Lisa McGee, the story follows; "three lifelong friends reunite after the death of an old classmate turns a wake into a dark mystery. They embark on a thrilling adventure across Ireland, piecing together enigmatic truths amid complicated lives".

The Guardian gave it 4/5 stars; "if you see nothing else this year, watch this"

"Lisa McGee's follow-up to Derry Girls is beautifully sweet and sharp"

Variety: "Derry Girls' Follow-Up 'How to Get to Heaven From Belfast' Is Another Delightful Northern Irish Romp — This Time With a Dead Body"

The Hollywood Reporter: "It's a good time to be a fan of somewhat zany, deceptively emotional, heavily accented, female-forward mystery-comedies on the small screen."

The series stars Roisin Gallagher (The Dry), Sinéad Keenan (Little Boy Blue), Caoilfhionn Dunne (Love/Hate), Emily Flain (Zoo) and Jenn Murray (Brooklyn).
