Florida Premiere For Irish Film

'Fudge 44', the second feature film from Irish director Graham Jones, will be premiered at the Delray Beach Film Festival in Florida which takes place from 8 to 12 March.

Jones previously directed the low budget independent Irish feature film 'How To Cheat In The Leaving Certificate', a heist movie about six friends devising a way to get the exam papers from the Department of Education's warehouse in Athlone.

'Fudge 44' is a mockumentary about six puppets in a financially impoverished Tokyo children's puppet theatre who, locals believe, came to life and robbed a nearby bank to avoid being put out of business.

The film has been nominated in the Film section of the 2006 Irish Digital Media Awards, which take place on 1 February.
