Conor Horgan’s debut feature makes New York Times’ critics’ pick

One Hundred Mornings, Horgan’s directorial debut, has been applauded for its examination of society, relationships and what it means to be human in a world without rules.

IRISH DIRECTOR Conor Horgan’s debut feature One Hundred Mornings is the New York Times’ critics’ pick today.

The post-apocalyptic drama was written and directed by Horgan, and stars Ciaran McMenamin, Alex Reid, Rory Keenan, Robert O’Mahoney and Kelly Campbell.

Writing in the New York Times, Jeanette Catsoulis described Horgan’s debut as “a balm to the soul of anyone quivering from too many overworked, over-agitated multiplex experiences” and says that Horgan feature relies on a single question: “When society breaks down, how quickly does our humanity follow?”

The creators of One Hundred Mornings were awarded a grant 0f €250,000 under the Irish Film Board’s Catalyst project, which encouraged filmmakers to shun techniques such as special effects and night shooting.

The film’s director of photography was  Suzie Lavelle; it was edited by Frank Reid; music was by Chris White; production design was by Lucy van Lonkhuyzen and production was by Katie Holly.
