Synopsis (Long) Dublin Oldschool tells the story of Jason, a wannabe DJ, who’s trying to play a set over a lost bank holiday weekend in Dublin. Jason is determined to prove himself as a DJ but he's not trusted by Bates, his record store boss. Bates offers Jason a chance to play a set at an upcoming rave on Sunday but only if he looks after two visiting London DJs.

Heading into town he stumbles across a familiar face from the past. Unbeknownst to Jason, his brother Daniel, a recovering heroin addict, is back from England and living on the streets of Dublin. They haven’t seen or spoken to each other years. After a tense exchange Jason leaves Daniel on the street.

Jason, promised a warm-up set on Friday night, shows up too wrecked on ketamine to play. The next day, while his mates keep the session going, Jason is tasked with putting on an after party for visiting London DJs.

As the weekend progresses the brothers keep running into each other. While Jason’s drug use intensifies from session to session, Daniel is increasingly more lucid. They argue, reconnect and reminisce over raves, tunes and their troubled past. Daniel wants to go back to their mother’s while he gets clean but he can’t convince Jason who harbours a secret: their mother passed away while Daniel was away in England. Jason sees Daniel on Sunday morning and after a long fight tells Daniel that their mother is dead, Daniel, distraught is furious at his brother and tells him he is one weekend away from where he began.

The weekend culminates with Jason finally playing a set at a huge rave in Wicklow. Afterwards he succumbs to all the chemicals in his system and collapses. He retreats into his subconscious and has visions of himself and Daniel at home as children.

Hurrying back to Dublin, he urgently searches for his brother.

Dublin Oldschool - The Play

The play “Dublin Oldschool” was written by Emmet Kirwan as part of the Dublin Fringe “Show in a Bag” development initiative (in conjunction with Fishamble, the New Play Company and the Irish Theatre Institute) in 2014. Ian Lloyd Anderson and Emmet Kirwan, were joint winners of Best Performer Award in the Tiger Dublin Fringe. The play went on to win the Stewart Parker Trust Major Bursary award.

Emmet Kirwan recalls the origins “I had been working with Ian Lloyd Anderson on a play ,Major Barbara, in the Abbey Theatre. it was one of those plays what we call the “old dead white man plays” They’re great to act in but don’t necessarily say anything about the modern world or city we live. I said to Ian, next time we do a play together, it will be a new contemporary piece. One that’s fast paced, frenetic and that speaks to both the city and our generation. A play that has something to say about contemporary modern Ireland”

Ian recalls Emmet being true to his word. Phoning him say that the opportunity had arisen to submit for the Fringe and that he had “an opening, and half a scene. Would he do it? We went into a room and worked on it for 8-9 weeks. It was really me doing stupid voices and him doing serious work.”

Emmet on the play “It’s a very pared back production with just two microphones, part verse, part spoken word with some regular scenes. Under the plays Director, Philip McMahon, it became a nightclub hip hop rap spoken word stand up gig. Ian plays 29 characters on stage, I think I play about 3”

It has been touring the world ever since to full houses and rave reviews.The play has had multiple runs at the Project Arts theatre in Dublin and has travelled to both the Edinburgh Fringe and the National Theatre in London.

Dave Tynan attended the opening night of the play in Bewleys Theatre during in 2014 and later approached Emmet to adapt the film with him. The two co-wrote the screenplay adaptation which Dave directed. “It was one of the most refreshing and interesting things I’d seen” says Producer Michael Donnelly V. He recalls leaving the theatre and discussing at length with Dave Tynan what a great film this would be.

Adapting Dublin Oldschool for Screen “I started to work on the script with Dave Tynan by transcribing what was essentially the whole play into a film format. The first draft was very different to whats on screen. What ultimately happened was it stopped becoming a film version of play and then started to become film in its own right so now both of them are kinda more companion pieces to each other as opposed to an adaptation. The brother scenes are almost intact but the rest of the spoken word and all the rap elements are gone. Some of that wound up in the voiceover. Its really an entirely different story, a whole new narrative that’s been created especially for the film” Emmet Kirwan

15

THE CAST OF DUBLIN OLDSCHOOL “It was a confidence boost going into my first feature with the two actors from the play. With Emmet Kirwan and Ian Lloyd Anderson, there was never any question about commitment, or whether they’d know their lines!

I never had a question about who I wanted to cast the film with. I adore working with Louise Kiely and her team and bringing that collaboration to a new level. The screenplay fleshed out many of the ancillary cast. That allowed us to bring in so many actors, ones I’d already worked with and completely new faces too. The scale of a feature allows us to give so many talented actors smaller roles. I wanted to make a film with both laughs and serious dramatic scenes and this group of actors allowed me to do that.” Dave Tynan - Writer / Director

“When we were casting the film you’d see these great actors come on board and take over all the roles, I had never worked with Seana (Kerslake) and we also had new faces like Leah Minto and Ciaran Grace. it was great writing up these characters and giving them a new voice.” Emmet Kirwan - Writer/ “Jason” “It was really weird” says Ian. “I visited set when I wasn’t filming because I only ever crossed paths with Emmet’s character, I got to see people doing things. And sometimes I got a bit jealous. I’ve stolen a couple of little lines because we’ve done the play since. It was very weird watching Sarah Greene playing Lisa. In the play I had Lisa from Louth, then Sarah arrives with her dirty Cork accent. And Dave The Rave was such a fan favourite from the play, and a favourite of mine, to see Liam (Heslin) doing it, it was just bizarre. When I saw him get up to give the Young People of Ireland line it was magic. But I was a bit jealous I didn’t get to play two parts” Ian Lloyd Anderson - “Daniel”

“Dave the Rave was just so fun to play. I remember seeing the play and loving that character and quoting all the phrases afterwards. He’s infectious. Even though whats driving him is the party and session and good times he does it with a pure joy and always at 100%.” Liam Heslin - “Dave The Rave”

“I liked the dynamic between Emmet's character (Jason) and my character (Gemma). It’s a very intense relationship that didn't really work but they still feel drawn to each other. My character is on the periphery of the group so I thought that was interesting: once heavily involved but slowly detaching herself for her own mental health. I knew it was going to be a great film and I wanted to be part of it.” Seana Kerslake - “Gemma”

16

Shooting Style “As with so many collaborations on this film, I wanted to return to a relationship I had begun before, with my long term cinematographer JJ Rolfe. A hand held camera felt immediately right to me, as a way of grounding the film. We worked towards a visual approach a widescreen, immersive, cinematic approach. Bringing the film out onto the streets of Dublin also felt crucial to me, to embrace the raw power of the script. I’m delighted we’ve a film undeniably that is both made in the city and of the city.” Dave Tynan -Writer / Director

“Authenticity was very important to me. We wanted to avoid the usual cliches of club films and films about addiction. We took a naturalistic approach. It might be seen as somewhat in vogue for films of this genre to desaturate or bleed out the colours but we wanted to keep it natural, vibrant. That way the audience can identify with it more. We did a lot in camera but then in the grade, Matt Branton in Windmill Lane did a wonderful job of knitting everything together. We had three different visual elements, there was The Street, The House Parties and then The Club/ Rave stuff. I wanted The Street to feel very in your face, very energetic. With The House parties we wanted a look like the outside world was always trying to creep in through a window or a curtain so we kept them quite dark and grubby with lots of texture, lots of grime. Then The Club had to look as real as possible.” JJ Rolfe - Cinematographer

17

Music

“With Jason trying to play a set, the film delves into a scene where tunes demand importance. Working with Johnny Moy as music consultant was a treat. He was the man for the job. I’m proud of the way that we’ve a real range. We’ve Irish old school classics like Soundcrowd, but also international names like Orbital, Laurent Garnier and Slam. Equally there’s much newer tracks from Irish artists like New Jackson, Mmoths, and Mango. On top of all of that, there’s an original score by Gareth Averill. I went to college with Gareth and he scored my first shorts so it meant a lot to move up to the next level with him.” Dave Tynan Writer / Director

“Well, my first thought was I can’t mess this one up. It was very dear to my heart. I felt it had to be real to what the film was trying to say, and it is a genre that has been portrayed badly and let down in the past. It can be hard to get it right without it sounding phoney or stupid. It was fun for me to build a pallet of tracks right from the script stage.” Johnny Moy Music Supervisor“The Pre-existing music was very big influence on how I approached the original music. It’s a very electronic-centric soundtrack and I wanted to have a commonality in the DNA of what I was doing but to step away from it a little but just to give it its own identity. For me it was identifying the cues and the most significant one was the end cue. So I started there and worked backwards. I wanted to see how I could weave some sort of thread through that would be galvanized in the final scene.” Gareth Averill - Composer

“I was nervous about getting the music right. I love music but wouldn’t have an depth extensive knowledge so getting the right people onboard early on was crucial. I’d come across Johnny Moy through a mutual friend and had been to a James Murphy DJ set he had put on. Once you read up on Johnny it’s apparent he is one of the most important figures in Irish Electronic music. So it was great when we met him that he had so much enthusiasm for the script. He responded to the script and what we were trying to do in a massive way and was able to put together this astounding soundtrack with 27 pieces of licensed music in there plus the amazing score that Gareth Averill did. It's one thing to have a load of great tracks in a film but to get to the position where you have a load of great tracks that do particular things and fit particular moments, is very exciting.” Michael Donnelly V Producer

Dublin

“From the title on, the film is inescapably a portrait of a city. Jason’s weekend, in particular his scenes with Daniel, take place with the city streets as backdrop. The film was shot almost exclusively in Dublin 1,2,7 and 8, with the exception of the later scenes where Jason and the gang decamp to Wicklow.

There’s obviously challenges to shooting in town. You’re going to lose a lot of takes. You’re going to have seagulls over your sound. It’s worth it.

There’s a lot of locations in the film that have already changed hugely or will change by the time the film is seen. As one example, District 8 will be demolished soon, which is an issue in terms of large venues for electronic music in the city. The film was shot less than a year ago but is already starting to look like a time capsule. I look at the Repeal graffiti in a quick shot of Grattan bridge and I hope that in that regard to the Eighth Amendment, the film documents a country that has moved forward since” Dave Tynan Writer / Director

“Going out onto the streets of Dublin and shooting in live locations which is where 60% of the film is shot was always going to be a big challenge. You have no control but part of that is really exciting. With Ian and Emmet being the primary cast on those locations we already had the luxury of them doing the play so they knew the material really really well. We could work with them and what we found on the streets to give it that texture, give it that life. Of

19

course it’s a challenge but its also really exciting. A lot of that energy from doing it out there on the street was really really great. We wanted to make a piece of work that was very true to what Dublin is, and for other departments such as ADs and Locations it was much tougher challenge but I was delighted to get out and be in Dublin and do it for real.” JJ Rolfe Cinematographer

“Dublin is quite iconic and a small enough city so you know every inch of it if you’ve lived there all your life. People always said in the play that the city acted as another character that’s conjured up or given physical form through words. Its given form as a character through the camera. The city is not just a backdrop but also a painting for us to act on top of. Dublin does have a particular kind of character, the way it looks. The city is shot in a way that I haven’t seen before so it's another character. It’s important to shoot it in the city but yeah you get people standing around and Japanese tourists wanting to get photographs with you but culturally not knowing who you are or what the fuck it is – really good fun. Emmet Kirwan Writer/ “Jason”

“You are where the scene is meant to take place, sometimes battling noise around you. But then there’s a weird thing, because I do a lot of theatre, where you are in front of the camera, and a crowd has gathered behind the camera and obviously its built in where you start projecting. You’re almost performing to the crowd which obviously you shouldn’t do because then you look like an idiot on screen. But generally it helps. Like it you want to make a movie about Dublin then shoot it bang in Dublin. I loved doing it on this film because it was geographically correct as well.” Ian Lloyd Anderson “Daniel”
