Synopsis
Jared Ennis is a disaffected young man working in a scrapyard in the midlands of Ireland. In years prior, Ennis was a hard-partier among a group of young people in the town who frequently drink, do drugs and engage in petty crime, branding themselves The Sesh Council. Ennis is contacted by Council member and former friend Tristan ‘Canner’ Corcoran, who reveals their acquaintance, Fearghal, has been murdered. The two meet with Jessica ‘Seshica’ Hegarty, the Grand Elder and leader of the Sesh Council, who tries to bring Ennis back into the fold to investigate the murder.
A local young man and former classmate of Ennis, Mad Jack Wensleydale, takes credit for Fearghal’s murder, vowing to rid the midlands of the crime and violence that the Council brings. It’s made clear to the Council that he’s not working alone.
Behind The Scenes
In 2022 a small group of friends gathered together to create the first part in what would become Midlands Mayhem. Over the following three years we developed this series independently. This took many hours and tons of support as we aimed to create something no one had seen before. An independent Television Series. This series consists of five episodes with a run time of two and a half hours. Full of comedy, action and heartbreak.
The two main creative minds behind the project were Adam Mura and Shane O’Baoill, who met in Film college. They produced the series together with Adam in the director’s chair and Shane serving as the Director of Photography. Adam went to school in the Midlands and many of his friends were from the area. This included two of the main characters portrayed by William Ennis and Tristan Canning. A behind-the-scenes video was produced giving you the full story of everything you would want to know.
