The Fastnet Film Festival has significantly changed Schull, West Cork, drawing a variety of A-listers like Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan since its inception in 2009. Triona McCarthy reflects on her childhood when Hollywood seemed a distant dream, and now local A-listers roam her hometown. This transformation has infused the village with a sense of magic and opportunity, allowing residents like McCarthy to witness their once-distant Hollywood dreams coming to life in their everyday surroundings.
As a child growing up in West Cork, I could never have dreamed that Hollywood stars would one day visit my hometown of Schull.
Today, I still have to pinch myself when I see A-listers like Paul Mescal, Saoirse Ronan, and others walking around.
