About the film: This sweet and uplifting Irish road movie from filmmaker Michael Head packs in the laughs as it follows Dermot and Elvis, two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord Sadie, who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price. If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl, and save the shop…
With just two days to get there the pair head off in a rusty Vauxhall as old as the hills. As they navigate their picturesque journey, they meet locals and make new friends along the way.
A fun and off-the-wall buddy movie, The Spin is based upon a semi-autobiographical short story by Omagh music star Mark McCausland (The Lost Brothers, The Basement, McKowski), who also provides the film’s beautiful folk soundtrack.
