THE VISIT
Tommy McDaid was a fiercely dedicated IRA volunteer when he and his best friend and fellow IRA volunteer Martin McDonagh drove a 1500kg lorry bomb (still the largest bomb detonated on mainland UK since WWII) into Manchester City Centre on Saturday 15th June 1996, the day before Germany were to play Russia at Old Trafford as part of Euro’96.
“The Visit” tells the story of why an older and now seriously ill Tommy returns to Manchester for the first time since that fateful day 25 years earlier.
A day that had huge implications for both the future of Manchester and for Tommy.
“The Visit” is a fictional story based around the actual IRA bombing of Manchester in 1996.
Filmed on location in and around Manchester City Centre, written and produced by Paul Ludden. The Visit is Exec-Produced by author Lee Child and stars Cal MacAninch. Directed by Jake Murray.

Been getting loads of lovely comments about the performances in Gone Fishing Short Film, which is fantastic.. But it`s great to see Festivals like @folkestonefilmfest making a point to highlight the cinematography and sound design.. So lucky to have @jennisuitiala_dop as our DOP and @ellisaudio on sound.. Did a brilliant job on The Visit Short Film and again on Gone Fishing Short Film, always above and beyond.. without them both films just wouldn`t be the same and definitely wouldn`t have the same impact.. Thank You x
