About the Film
An evocative mood piece, THE FRUITFUL (featuring Christine Tease and Baz Black) glides gently from classic Georgian townscapes to the lush emerald landscapes of rural Ireland, reflecting one young lady’s inner turmoil as she struggles for restitution in the shadows of her recent past.
Written and Directed by John Collins, THE FRUITFUL tests convention in a stunning blend of imagery and poetry, while narration is from Nóirín Ní Riain and music performed by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin with Owen and Moley Ó Súilleabháin.
THE FRUITFUL is a stark contemporary portrait which seeks to enchant the collective subconscious with an Irish recitation of an antique Asian anecdote which celebrates spirit over subjection.
About John Collins
John Collins is a Limerick artist whose abstract paintings have appeared in exhibitions throughout Ireland, but his love for the arts goes much further than oil on canvas. He also enjoys short movie making, script writing and has worked in theater and film production. He is quoted as saying “I covet a poetic outlook, yet there is a stark approach to my work, with strong visual colour and structure.” and the same can be said for John’s written word. He has been writing poetry and script for over 10 years.
In 2017 John wrote the additional dialogue for the film ‘Don’t Go’ starring Stephen Dorff and Melissa George, and is currently developing a number of projects in 2019 at his home on the west coast of Ireland.
