The Quisling

action drama

THE QUISLING.

 

“The Quisling embodies many features of the classic Irish-American crime drama, paying homage to both the bloody and beautiful sides of Irish heritage. It leans heavily on themes of family, duty, and revenge, all of which are mostly enhanced by the post-Troubles backdrop and speak to the way in which some wounds struggle to heal. Over the course of its brisk 90 pages, it unravels a dense family mystery that spans decades and continents, portraying the idea that few secrets stay dormant forever.  (Wiki Screenplay Contest)
