Kings Crowned

RTÉ reports that Kings, the first bilingual feature to be short in Ireland, has been chosen as the 2007 winner of the Directors Finders Series.

Kings was written and directed by Tom Collins, and adapted from Jimmy Murphy's award-winning play Kings of the Kilburn High Road, which is set in contemporary London.

The Screen Directors Guild of Ireland, in association with the Directors Guild of America, will showcase Kings in September to an audience of American distributors with the aim of securing a US distribution deal for the film.
