SPA Weekend
multi-award-winning feature film
Josephine (Jo) is a down & out actor who is back in Dublin having been ground down in London. She needs a break. She needs someone to celebrate her birthday with! She wants to go camping. Her old friends have outgrown her. She’s down on her luck with no one to comfort her. Cue;
‘Stoney’, an old actor friend who is also down on his luck. She lies & asks him to go on a ‘Spa Weekend’ with her. He agrees. Little does he know he’ll be facing the elements and little does she know that Stoney is running from his drug-dealer to whom he owes a year’s worth of hash money. And, unbeknownst to them both, is following them, ready to wreak
havoc!
It is produced, directed & edited by Mo O'Connell. She co-wrote it with Karl Argue and stars as one of the leading actors too, playing "Josephine".

​SPA Weekend is a 3 Hot Whiskeys Production. ​
