Every year the Belfast Film Festival makes the effort to put some truly independent small scale Irish productions on the map, and this year’s The Spin, directed by first-timer Michael Head (whom some viewers will be familiar with from his acting work), is one of the better ones. It follows best friends and record shop proprietors Dermot (Brenock O’Connor) and Elvis (Owen Colgan) as they embark on a cross-country quest to save their business and the former’s relationship with his daughter, and though the story is simple, the likeable characters and lively banter make it an enjoyable watch.
Like many entrepreneurs who do what they do for love more than for money, our heroes have found themselves struggling to make rent, and their magnificently attired but empathy-challenged landlady Sadie (Tara Lynne O’Neill) is threatening to turn Boneyard Records into a nail salon. Fortunately for them, they’ve learned of a record.
