Seanie Sugrue, whose play “The 8th” won Best Production at the 2020 Origin 1st Irish wrote and directed this feature film “Misty Button” in 2018.
After being asked to place a $10,000 bet on a race horse, James and Eoin make the fatal mistake of pocketing the money. The two Irish emigrees face a crisis when Misty Button comes in and wins at 35-1.
The film made its world premiere on St Patrick’s Day 2019 at the San Luis Obispo International Film and took home an award for Best Feature Film. “Misty Button” would make its New York City premiere that summer and won the audience award for Best Feature Film at the Soho International Film Festival. It continued to be heavily featured in the 2019 Film Festival circuit on both sides of the Atlantic.
