Will Maloney said : -

2p is collaboration between our producer, Larry Cowen and myself. We were chatting one day, eager to get another project going and Larry told me about the Virgin Shorts competition. I immediately went to the drawing board and started drafting ideas. As an American, the 2p coin has always been a bit of an anomaly to me, so I thought what a unique base for a narrative. Something we see everyday, but rarely think about twice. After I wrote the script, we brought in a fantastic cast and crew and filmed for two days on location in South Belfast

2p is about the power of hope, and what can happen when we give things a chance. Chris Patrick Simpson and Mary-Frances Doherty play our leads, Billy and Clare. Coming from a mixture of theatre and film, both actors bring an aspect of empathy to their roles that I think your average viewer will really connect with. Our Director of Photography was my father, Denis Maloney, an award winning cinematographer who visually took 2p to the next level.

2p is a labour of love that would not have been possible without a belief in the script from our talented cast and crew. Northern Ireland is a place with a lot of creative talent, and more than anything; 2p is a testament to that.
