This is an interesting movie in the sense of how it was made. Charlie Casanova is the first film to be entirely conceived on Facebook. After the Irish Film Board rejected the script, writer-director Terry McMahon had the words, “The Art is in the Completion. Begin.” tattooed onto his body then typed a message into his Facebook status that he was planning to shoot the film in a few weeks and soliciting a cast and crew.

Within twenty-four hours a hundred and thirty people made contact with Terry. Camera department, designers, production managers, assistant directors, continuity people, gaffers, actors… Three weeks later Charlie Casanova was in production with this renegade crew of strangers and actors. The film was made for less than $1,000 Euros. The Irish press has called it Ireland’s lowest-budgeted movie of all time!

The trailer shows insane jerky shots and is rather plaintive. The movie will be premiering at the 2011 SXSW on Sunday, March 13, 2011.
