About the film:
“Alchemy” is a film adaptation of the play "The Alchemist" by Ben Jonson. It satirizes the follies, vanities and vices of mankind. Jeremy, a valet uses his boss’s house for fraudulent activities. He calls on Charlie, a self-professed Alchemist and his seductive sidekick Dotty to together scam gullible people out of their riches. Yet the cons themselves are filled with desire for power and their rivalry threatens to undo their schemes. It is a location comedy full of humorous characters and situations.
We will share the movie in short webisodes weekly in the autumn.

The film is being directed by Simon Edwards from the “The Actor's Space”, Barcelona (http://www.actors-space.org/about.htm) and the actors and cast are students of the Advanced Acting and Multimedia course in Kinsale College.
Why we need money:
We need money for post production costs, travel expenses and festival fees. We have some outstanding bills from the filming stage and have had to buy software and hardware for the editing which we have had to borrow money for.
