abandoned house in attempt to escape the police. They soon discover that they are not alone. In an upstairs room, Keller discovers an anonymous man covered in bandages, as well as his carer. As ever more strange and unsettling events occur within the house, Keller starts to suspect that instead of finding sanctuary he has found his own damnation. ‘Nailed’ is also the story of how a film can be created from almost nothing, for almost nothing. In early 2005, American producer Ben Katz was in Belfast to oversee the making of a feature film called ‘Johnny Was’. With him were three actors, Wilson J Heredia, Charles Porter and Sam Sarpong, talented performers who had very minor roles in the movie and would be spending lot of time just waiting around. One July evening, Katz was introduced to local writer Stephen McAnena and director Adrian O’Connell , and had a brain-wave. He asked whether they had a script for a quick, low-budget film that might be suitable for the three actors, and was told that they did. This was not true, but within a week a crew was assembled and a script written, shooting started. Eight days later the majority of the film had been completed. Stephen McAnena and Adrian O’Connell will participate in a Q&A after the film.
