'Unholylands' Feature Film Fundraiser
Donation protected
The UnHolylands is a coming of age, Inbetweeners-inspired Northern Irish comedy. Many young people and indeed others know of Belfast's student area 'The Holylands' in one way or another, with associated views often influenced by media coverage.
Although the film is a comedy, it aims to create a deeper awareness and understanding of The Holylands student culture. Equally so, it focuses on background factors that can play a role in students' lives and demonstrate that despite episodic antisocial behaviour, these are decent people with their own underlying struggles.
The UnHolylands follows the lives of two law students, stepbrothers Michael and Scott, as they embark on their final week of university. Some significant progress has been made with the film since its beginnings, and it is set to begin filming in July 2022.
