EXCLUSIVE: Juno Films has acquired all North American rights to Galway Film Fleadh award winner Horseshoe directed by Edwin Mullane and Adam O’Keeffe.

The distributor plans a spring 2026 theatrical release on the comedic family drama about four estranged siblings who return to their crumbling family home in the West of Ireland and navigate inheritance, grief and long-buried grudges and secrets.

Horseshoe won the Best Irish First Feature award at Galway Film Fleadh and stars Carolyn Bracken, Lalor Roddy, John Connors, Mary Murray, Jed Murray, Neill Fleming, Eric O’Brien and Caroline Harvey

Mullane, O’Keeffe and Mo O’Connell produced the feature from WaveWalker Films and 3 Hot Whiskeys Films, which was supported by Screen Ireland, Sligo County Council, and Creative Heartlands.

“Edwin and Adam have delivered a family drama that is full of grief, rivalry, long-held grudges and volcanic violence,” says Vondah Elizabeth, CEO of Juno Films. “When I first watched the film, I felt privy to a family whose familial bonds were tenuous, shadowed by trauma and infested with secrets but tempered by an undercurrent of empathy and loyalty that ultimately, wins the day. It reminds viewers that it is not the material legacy but the bonds of kinship that are the most important.”

“We’ve always loved films about families — there’s so much drama, comedy and tension to mine from those relationships, especially when people are forced back under one roof,” said Mullane and O’Keeffe. “It’s a real privilege to be able to showcase some of Ireland’s best talent both on screen and behind the camera.”

Juno Films recent releases include That They May Face The Rising Sun, Housewife Of The Year, and Lasse Halstrom’s Hilma.
