Doherty

The award winning short film Doherty revolves around Dillon Doherty (Brian Andrus), an established hit man for the IRA, who struggles to find a balance between the criminal politics and keeping his family sheltered from his crimes. Dillon is given a hit by IRA boss, John Collins (Craig Hensley), to take out the organization’s adversary, R. Carlisle (Patrick Vaillancourt). The past will be revealed as Doherty battles to keep his family safe and “the cause” growing.

Director Statement

My name is Luke Malone and I am the Writer, Director, and Producer on the film, Doherty. This film has been in the works for about the last 4 years, from its original inception and first draft of the script back in June of 2013, to what it has become today. With my heritage being Irish and my ultimate interest in the deep history of Ireland, and more recently, it's events that rose to the forming of the IRA (Irish Republican Army), I have wanted to create a fictional story that could loosely relate to real life actions and events surrounding the IRA. I have been making movies for my whole life and within the last 12 years, I have been focusing my craft and knowledge to better my work by each project that I have done. Doherty has been my latest endeavour and the project I have been most passionate about. A story revolving around the IRA has always interested me, but I wanted to make it something more close to home and also stay in the realms of what I know. Conflicts within business, family, and personal issues have been a subject that I love to tackle and doing so in the film, Doherty, has been a difficult, but exciting route to journey upon. My goal for the film is to entertain and interest my audience and to ultimately create an exciting action/drama film that you can enjoy and also wanting more.
