Films at the Fleadh – Traders

We continue our series of posts on the films at 2015 Galway Film Fleadh, taking a look at Rachael Moriarty and Peter Murphy’s debut feature Traders. The film screens Saturday July 11th, at 8pm in the Town Hall Theatre.

The film follows newly redundant Harry Fox who is approached by a former colleague with a new business proposition. Two people convert all their assets to cash, arrange to meet, dig one grave and fight to the death. Winner buries the loser and instantly doubles his value. Can he persuade Harry to become a “Trader”?

Murphy and Moriarty are working from their own script, with a cast that includes Killian Scott, John Bradley, Peter O’Meara, Nika McGuigan, Moe Dunford, and Barry Keoghan. Garage cinematographer Peter Robertson is DOP, with Rachel Lysaght, Stuart Switzer, and Libby Durdy producers.
