## Resource

In this Film Ireland Podcast, supported by Screen Ireland, we’re delighted to be chatting once again with director Brendan Muldowney. An accomplished filmmaker, Brendan is the talent behind features such as Pilgrimage and The Cellar, and now his latest offering, One Last Deal , explores the high-stakes world of sports. Set against the ruthless backdrop of football politics, this is a fast-paced, pressure-cooker thriller, with Danny Dyer delivering a standout performance. Directed by Muldowney ( Pilgrimage, The Cellar ), the film sees Dyer ( The Football Factory, Marching Powder, Rivals ) take centre stage as Jimmy Banks, an old school football agent who desperately needs to get his troubled star footballer one last big payday before Jimmy’s life, and his player’s reputation, comes tumbling down. When the prospect of a major new deal with a promising young player appears, Jimmy sees a route to get himself back on top… but when a blackmailer calls and the shady dealings of his past resurface, can Jimmy keep calm and get the job done? Written by Peter Howlett and shot on location in Ireland last year, the film was produced by Paul Kennedy ( Nightride ) for Village Films, Richard Bolger ( Father, Mother, Sister, Brother ) for Hail Mary Pictures, and Patrick O’Neill ( Kneecap ) for Wildcard, with support from Screen Ireland / Fís Éireann and Northern Ireland Screen.
