The film stars Johnny Elliott as the artist and John Connors (Love / Hate) in ten separate rolls, including a Judge, Doctor, Garda, Priest, Podcaster, Arts Project Manager, Teacher, Advertising Executive, Banker and Father. It also features Tania Notaro, Fernanda Bastos, Maureen Dillon, Alex Bastos, Maisy Crowley, Scott Soraghan and Brian Moore. It was written & directed by Alex Fegan for Atom Films.

We also have COCO'S LAW, which is a feature version and continuation of our documentary on the amazing Jackie Fox as she campaigned to change Irish and EU Law to make online bullying a crime. The film was directed by the brilliant Gerard Walsh and produced by Alex Fegan for Atom Films, RTE and Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.
