IN case you’re wondering what all the cameras and film crew business is about in the town centre yesterday and today, a short film is being made in the town.

‘Abbeyleaks’ is produced by local actor/writer man Patrick McDonnell and he has a director at the helm, Philip Briggs, with previous experience on a number of top US TV shows.

Local actors taking part include Tim Landers and Jake Kelly, with students from the Kerry ETB Digital Media Centre also contributing their skills.

The crew has been filming at Mary Street (street between Bella Bia and the lower Tesco car park), Lower Abbey Street and down by Yummy Cafe.

The film itself is about two men — a veteran garda and a young man on the wrong track in life — on parallel journeys to make things right in their respective worlds.
