LOGLINE Rose, a mostly sweet & mostly lonely Irish small-town driving instructor, must use her supernatural talents to save the daughter of Martin (also mostly sweet & lonely) from a washed-up rock star who is using her in a Satanic pact to reignite his fame.

SHORT SYNOPSIS Rose, a sweet, lonely driving instructor in rural Ireland, is gifted with supernatural abilities. Rose has a love/hate relationship with her ‘talents’ & tries to ignore the constant spirit related requests from locals - to exorcise possessed rubbish bins or haunted gravel. But! Christian Winter, a washed up, one-hit-wonder rock star, has made a pact with the devil for a return to greatness! He puts a spell on a local teenager- making her levitate. Her terrified father, Martin Martin, asks Rose to help save his daughter. Rose has to overcome the fear of her supernatural gift & work with Martin to save the girl, get the guy and be home in time for a light snack...maybe a yogurt or something...

LONG SYNOPSIS Rose is a sweet, lonely driving instructor in Ireland with supernatural abilities called “The Talents” that allow her to communicate with spirits (inherited from her father Vincent, who made a living peddling videos about the supernatural.) Rose has a love/hate relationship with her gifts, (blaming herself for her father’s death), and ignores the community’s requests to investigate ghouls in the cupboard or headless horsemen scaring cows. So when widower Martin, haunted by his nagging ex- wife Bonnie, contacts her for help at the behest of his teen daughter Sarah, Rose brushes him off. But she can’t shake Martin from her mind, and her sister Sailor encourages her to at least consider the job.

Meanwhile, local aging rock star Christian Winter has a sinister plan for success – virgin sacrifice. He casts a spell on Sarah leaving her levitating and catatonic. Martin begs Rose’s help, and she agrees.

From Vincent’s notes, Rose learns that to save her they must exorcise ghosts for a counter-spell…and fast. They’ve two days before Sarah’s dragged into a fiery pit of hell.

Martin and Rose set about the exorcisms, while Sailor minds Sarah. Despite the weird situations - haunted wheelie bins, rude oil painting, possessed toilet roll - they work well together. And there’s budding attraction between them - though neither act on it.

But when Christian learns of their plan, he blocks Rose's talents, in doing so trapping Bonnie’s ghost inside Martin's body. Martin and Bonnie fight for control, and in the chaos Christian summons Sarah to his castle….

Rose, Martin (still struggling with Bonnie) and Sailor hightail it after Sarah, arriving to discover Christian has managed to open a gateway to hell. To save Sarah they’ll have to to close the portal in the most awkward way possible…

QUOTES FROM WRITER/DIRECTORS MIKE AHERN AND ENDA LOUGHMAN

Regarding Shoot & Casting - "We are delighted we have somehow convinced an incredible group of actors and funny people we really admire, along with an amazing crew and some random folk that we just wanted to meet, to join our fever dream and make this mysterious romantic oddball ghost story love comedy adventure film. The timely script obviously hit home as it shines a light on important, serious issues like that of haunted rubbish bins in rural Ireland. The fact that International super talent Will Forte has come on board suggests the topic of tiny hauntings is a universal problem that needs to be highlighted and addressed. See you at the Oscars! "

Regarding SXSW Premiere - “We couldn’t imagine a more fitting festival to show EXTRA ORDINARY for its world premiere. Just like in our film, the SXSW line-up will no doubt feature a few creepy rock stars, as well as some weird but lovable folk with supernatural powers. It’s the perfect fit. We are very excited and honoured!”

SOME NOTES ON THE FILM FROM WRITER/DIRECTORS MIKE AHERN AND ENDA LOUGHMAN

Background & Tone

EXTRA ORDINARY is a character based romantic comedy with supernatural elements. The initial idea that we felt focused a lot of other funnywas inspired ideas we by were two characters having re: veryIreland's brieﬂy rural mentioned spirit-world. in this We article liked this description:

'We contacted husband-and-wife ghost-hunters Ray and Beryl Herne from Central Parade to send the poltergeist packing. Spirit medium Ray, a 52-year-old lorry driver, says he can draw the gross ghost into him while Beryl, 59, will envelope it in a "vortex of light" and send it to the "other side." Beryl said: "Sometimes spirits need to be here. There is usually a reason. Sometimes it's family. Sometimes we have to alleviate some stress."

While the article was silly, these sentences grabbed our attention as an initial basis for some great very local yet very universal characters. Describing Ray: Ray, 'a 52-year-old lorry driver'. This made

We both come from a design and animation background and at different stages have worked extensively in post-production, animating and creating effects on our own projects and for other people. With this in mind we incorporated hauntings into the script in a certain way to limit the amount of on-screen effects, we feel this decision of limitation adds to the story and characters.

QUOTES FROM PRODUCERS Regarding Shoot & Casting - We're thrilled to be working with an incredible cast of hilarious, talented people, and to be supported by a brilliant crew. Mike and Enda are real talents and have written a unique, madcap, hilarious and slightly appalling script and are bringing it to life with such obsessive attention to detail it’s frankly exhausting. Truly though, we are extraordinarily proud to be producing their debut feature and we hope that audiences will fall in love with the characters and their hilarious adventures just as much as we have."

Regarding SXSW Premiere - “We're thrilled to be having our World Premiere in SXSW which holds a special place in our hearts after the incredible experience we had there with CITADEL. We're extraordinarily proud of Mike and Enda's debut feature and we hope that audiences there will fall in love with their unique characters and their hilarious madcap adventures just as much as we have."

SOME NOTES FROM BLINDER FILMS PRODUCERS

From the outset EXTRA ORDINARY was a stand out project for us. Immediately after reading the treatment, we were both completely charmed by its fun and fresh approach to romantic comedy and also the tongue in cheek nature of its ungainly exploration of the spiritual and superstitious world of rural Ireland. This particular thread injected a wonderful juxtaposition of nostalgia to the newer romantic, comedic territory it traverses. We believed this dichotomy would be one of its strongest selling points.

We are very excited to be working Mike and Enda on their first feature. We love the innovation and approach in their work, across the board from their commercial projects to their short films, MR. FOLEY and THE HATCH. Their work is predominantly pitched left of centre, always deliciously funny with varying levels of darkness and irreverence while at the same time always very satisfying to their audience. With EXTRA ORDINARY they are challenging not only the conventions of the romantic comedy but also that of supernatural horror. While romantic comedy has been going through a subversive period, it is still hard to find one which subverts the isolation, frustration and loneliness of rural living from a dramatic theme, to a story you can evoke great humour and strong resolution from. The supernatural comedies of the last few years seem to have pitched predominantly in the slapstick camp with few exceptions. EXTRA ORDINARY not only presents the supernatural side of Ireland in a comedic light, but also has threads of real darkness running through it, as well as, ultimately, real heart. We’re so delighted we’ve been able to help Mike and Enda bring this world and their characters to life.
