🚨Paul Mescal boards MARY IS MISSING as Executive Producer 🚨

We are incredibly proud to announce that Academy Award-nominated actor Paul Mescal has boarded our Oscar®-qualified short film MARY IS MISSING as Executive Producer, as the film enters the next stage of its Academy Awards® campaign.

When coming on board as Executive Producer, Paul said:
“There are films that remind you just how exciting cinema can be when it opens itself up to new voices. For me, Mary is Missing is one of those films. It’s bold, surprising and unlike anything else I’ve seen.”

Created in Maynooth, where Paul grew up, MARY IS MISSING was developed through a 12-week collaborative writers’ room with the Run of the Mill ensemble. Thirteen of the film’s 19 cast members are artists with intellectual disabilities.

Written by Aisling Byrne and Caitríona Daly, directed by Aisling Byrne and produced by Killian Coyle for Run of the Mill and Arcade Film, MARY IS MISSING has officially qualified for consideration for the 99th Academy Awards®.

We have long admired Paul’s work, and as one of the most exciting Irish actors working on the world stage, we’re very proud to welcome him to the MARY IS MISSING team 🎭

A huge thank you to the cast and crew who made MARY IS MISSING. Full cast and crew credits at the link in bio.

London, baby! 🇬🇧🎬🇮🇪

A few official snaps from the Mary Is Missing Q&A at Charlotte Street Hotel in London.

Following the FYC screening, our Executive Producer Paul Mescal joined Aisling, Killian and Mark for a conversation about Mary Is Missing, how the film came together and the journey it has been on since.

It was a brilliant chance to talk about the making of Mary with a room full of people who had just watched the film on the big screen. We love sharing Mary with new audiences and we love to talk about the process of making our film and the importance of co-creation with our artists.

Huge thanks to @johnarmour for capturing the day so beautifully 📸

Mary’s roadshow rolls on, and we’ve got more screening announcements coming this week. Keep an eye out to see where Mary is heading next! 👀

Today we were in Birr for OFFline Film Festival, where our cast members Derek McSweeney and Lucy Smith joined director Aisling Byrne for a really thoughtful Q&A after the screening.

We loved hearing the questions and conversations that came out of the film, and getting the chance to talk about making Mary Is Missing with another audience. We love sharing Mary with new audiences!

A huge thanks to OFFline Film Festival for having us, and to everyone who came along 💚🤍💛

When care worker Mary vanishes without a trace, Detective Foley arrives at the Yellow Tree Day Service and investigations begin. As reports from the eyewitnesses become more and more confounding, we are asked to explore the reliability of truth, the strangeness of fiction and the people we choose to believe.

Join us for an exclusive Q&A featuring director Aisling Byrne alongside members of the film’s cast and creative team. Stick around after the screening to step behind the scenes, explore the artistic vision and gain insights into the creative journey that brought the story to life.

Thank you to everyone for the kind wishes on all the recent great news for Mary is Missing 💌

We are no strangers to exceptional talent hailing from Maynooth - and are so delighted to be welcoming Paul into the fold. Game recognise game. 🤝

It takes an absolute village. I just wanted to take a minute to thank thank our village and encourage you to check out our incredible cast, crew and creative team over at runofthemill.ie/maryismissing The success and journey of the film is testament to everyone’s exceptional work and the spirit of collaboration that was behind every frame of this film. I am so grateful to every single person.

This work also takes time. It takes Years. This film stands on the shoulders of years and years of embedded collaborative practice driven by a belief that our screens and stages and cultural conversations are richer when they include everyone.

Seeing the names of some of the artists I have worked with for over fifteen years, who taught me so much of everything I know about being a good director, about inclusion and access and care as non-negotiables, lighting up Variety magazine. Tears were shed.

When our artists at @runofthemillarts occupy these spaces, it changes what’s possible for those coming behind them. You can’t be what you can’t see.

Proud, grateful and not done yet x
