Citadel

One of the number one pieces of advice fledgling filmmakers receive is “work from what you know.”  Ciaran Foy seems to have taken that to heart with his feature film debut Citadel, even if it meant revisiting a tragic and haunting period of his life.

Citadel, opening in New York City tomorrow (November 9th) and Los Angeles (on the 16th), concerns a young man named Tommy (Aneurin Barnard) who suffers a brutal attack from a hooded gang and is left to raise his baby daughter alone.  He develops agoraphobia and until, one day, the gang returns and he is forced to step out beyond the safety of his tenement to take them on.
