Emerald City
"Josh Brolin presents the Los Angeles premiere of Emerald City, with director Colin Broderick present to take part in a Q&A after the screening.
Colin Broderick's first feature film "Emerald City" tells the tale of a hard living crew of aging Irish construction workers in NYC and of one character in particular who may have found a way out.
Pat Mack, played by the comedic theatrical actor, John Keating, lives in the Irish enclave of Woodlawn, Yonkers, with his wife and two kids. His Manhattan based construction business is teetering on the brink, but his personal life might be in worse shape that that. Meanwhile on the job he is trying to rally a crew of Irish misfits who might be well be unemployable were it not for his misguided sense of cultural commitment to each of them.
The movie features retired Irish professional boxer, John "The Derry Destroyer" Duddy, in his first starring role. John plays retired boxer Podge Quinn. Podge lives in Sunnyside, Queens, and works as a carpenter on Pat Mack's crew of misfits. Podge has fallen in love with a local Irish barmaid, Mary, who has had her fill of sweet talking Irishmen. Podge is having trouble proving to her that he is not like the others."
