Winner of Best International Feature 2010 at the Garden State Film Festival and Best UK Feature at the London Independent Film Festival 2009 co-starring Cara Seymour (An Education), "Beyond the Fire" tells the story of Sheamy (Scot Williams), a gentle Irish ex-priest who arrives in London to find his old family friend and mentor Father Brendan. After an unsuccessful search Sheamy reaches out to the only other person he knows in London, Rory (Chris O’Neil). Rory, a talented musician and band member, takes Sheamy under his wing and introduces him to his flatmate Katie (Cara Seymour). Immediately, the attraction is undeniable between Sheamy and Katie.
