The film features footage from Kennedy's Main Stage set last year
If you were at Electric Picnic primarily to see Dermot Kennedy's set last year, you'll no doubt have fond memories of it.
The Dubliner was a major draw at EP 2019 but sometimes, crap phone camera footage just doesn't cut it when you want to relive the memories.
Luckily, filmmaker Brendan Canty was on hand to make a short film based around Kennedy's set. As well as some live footage, it tells a narrative of two friends who go to the festival.
Kennedy said that it was "The best live moment I’ve ever had. Singing these songs to a sea of people at home meant so much."
Canty - who directed Hozier's 'Take Me to Church' video - said:
"Dermot Kennedy playing the mainstage at Electric Picnic 2019 was a monumental homecoming show for him.
A landmark moment that underlined how far he has risen in just a couple of years - from busking on the streets of Dublin to playing to 20,000 people hanging off every word.
To mark the occasion, I was commissioned to make a narrative film featuring Dermot’s performance at Electric Picnic. I wanted to capture the youthful euphoria of a first festival experience - the magical highs, disappointments and redemptions between friends.
I cast two of the best young actors in Ireland in Jordanne Jones and Lauryn Canny. With the best crew known to man and only one day of access, we somehow pulled this off - and I’m super proud of it!’’
