Produktbeschreibung

Young Mary Keane was pregnant by a priest when she was taken in by an infamous Magdalene Laundry.

35 years later, the multi-million pound sale of his company may be a seminal moment for businessman Jack Fleming, but his professional success is marred by personal tragedy. He needs time to clear his head, and decide what to do with the rest of his life. When by chance he meets the enigmatic Siobhán, her uncompromising nature forces him to re-evaluate his future. He's smitten, and when she unexpectedly disappears, he's determined to find her. His search leads eventually to Ireland, where the horror of abuse within the Catholic Church is laid bare.

WARNING: Contains strong language and content which followers of the Roman Catholic faith may find offensive.

Autorenporträt

Norman Hall was an accountant for 40 years, but from an early age had a keen interest in home movies and a critical eye for film production techniques. He filmed and edited his first film on 8mm celluloid back in 1971 and dabbled with a video camera in the 80s but didn't take up movie-making seriously until 2009 when he bought his first digital camcorder.

He produced a dozen or so travelogue-types movies featuring his and his wife's travels around the world but eventually tired of the reportage format and decided to do something more creative. A long-standing critic of grossly expensive and overblown blockbusters made with hundreds of production crew, he decided to produce his own feature film, single-handedly.

"Good Girl", which runs for 135 minutes, was shot in 2017 and premiered to cast, friends and family in April 2018. It was not made for commercial reasons and is available free to view on the Varium Films website and also on YouTube where, to date, it has clocked up over 200,000 hits.

In the aftermath of the movie project, his wife Nicky urged him to turn the Good Girl screenplay into a novel, which he self-published in February 2019. There then followed a sequel entitled "The Awakening" which he self-published in July of the same year. The combined saga has been turned into a 10-part TV drama script. If he had several million pounds to spare, he would produce it tomorrow.....

In between editing short films for aspiring film-makers he continues to write, publishing "The Angel of Solano" in July 2020 and "A Prayer for Mary" in April 2021.
