Royally Ever After, a new Irish-American feature film, is set to shoot in Enniskerry and Sligo, Ireland, until the end of this month.

This inspiring landmark is hosting an international and award-winning crew, which includes director of photography Seamus Deasy (Vikings, My Name Is Emily [+lee también:

Royally Ever After's script was developed by US writer and film producer William R Greenblatt (Judgement in Berlin, Nearlyweds) and revolves around the character of Sara DeMarco (Fiona Gubelmann), an American teacher in her thirties, who has found her own “Prince Charming” – namely, a handsome foreign writer visiting New Jersey. Nonetheless, Sara will receive an unexpected marriage proposal and will find out that her boyfriend is actually Prince Daniel (Torrance Coombs), heir to the throne of the small kingdom of St Ives. The director of this modern fairy tale is Lee Friedlander, best known for her previous features Double Daddy (2015) and Girl Play (2004) as well as some successful TV films, such as Killer Coach (2016) and Babysitter's Black Book (2015).

Royally Ever After is being produced by Kat Green for US firm Wonderfly Films and Lisa McLaughlin, founder of the Los Angeles Irish Film Festival. The Irish co-producer is Edwina Forkin (Sanctuary [+lee también:
