Our leading lady is Irish writer, actress and comedienne Maeve Higgins. Americans will probably know her from her appearances on NPR’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me”. “Extra Ordinary”(2019) was her first film role

Yes, that’s really American comedian & actor Will Forte (of SNL fame) as washed up musician Christian Winter

“Extra Ordinary” (2019) was made for a fairly low budget. It was filmed out in the Irish countryside in the literal middle of the country. Initially it didn’t make much but it has since found a cult following

“Extra Ordinary” (2019) was VERY inspired by American horror classics like “The Exorcist” and “Ghostbusters”
