Film Unit with the support and training of industry professionals from
Waterford City and county. Filmed around the city's docklands and medieval
quarter, 'NUN MORE DEADLY' features many prolific Waterford actors who
kindly returned to the city to lend their expertise to the project.
Leonard Hayden features as The Detective alongside Frank Coughlan, Des
Manahan & Jenni Ledwell as the sultry but mysterious dame. Jan O' Sullivan
appears as a deadly dangerous nun with many other exiting cameo roles
from the likes of Micky Power, Liam Rellis, Peter Atkins, Jucky Collins,
Jamie Murphy, Ciaran Doyle, Arnaud Mary & Bob Brown.
Writer Rodney Lee who wrote the winning screenplay will be in Waterford
next month to judge this years Imagine 24-hour film making competition
.
Dublin based jazz composer Dylan Rynhart of the Fuzzy Logic Ensemble,
composed and scored original music for the short film which director
David O'Sullivan describes as 'a sassy and melodic jazz score, tailor
made for this movie'.

Films who have since submitted the film to various film festivals worldwide.
