An Poitín, a mockumentary series to be broadcast on BLOC’s – TG4’s social media YouTube channel – was written and directed by Oisín Ó hEartáin, a documentary filmmaker from Corca Dhuibhne in West Kerry.
The award-winning creative has spent years making documentaries and is beginning to explore his drama roots through the medium of screen.
In this comedy-drama series, the audience is introduced to Braon Poitín, a curious but talented man, struggling to make his own way in the world, who decides to bring his poitín business to the international market – whichever way he can.
