Ahead of its screening at this year’s FrightFest, Gemma Creagh talks to Tony Devlin, Director and Co-writer of The Glenarma Tapes.

The Glenarma Tapes is the latest film to be produced through Northern Ireland Screen’s New Talent Focus initiative.

The Glenarma Tapes screens on 26th August at Frightfest (24 – 28 August 2023).
