The visit Short Film

IRA man Tommy McDaid is pulled back to Manchester 25 years after he helped plant a huge bomb that devastated the City Centre and changed the course of his life forever.
“The Visit started out with a great screenplay, a terrific cast and a committed crew – and even so, it came out better than I dared to hope. It’s a tiny Swiss watch of a movie, jeweled with elegy, humanity, regret … and an unstated but powerful thread of hope. I’m proud to have been involved.”
Lee Child, Executive-Producer The Visit.
Written and Produced by Paul Ludden.
Exec-Producer Lee Child.
Starring Cal MacAninch.
