Fun interview for EXTRA ORDINARY the hilarious new Irish comedy movie with a paranormal twist starring Maeve Higgins, Barry Ward, Will Forte, Claudia O'Doherty & Emma Coleman.

Rose (Maeve Higgins) is a driving instructor in a small Irish town. Most people are more interested in her ‘special talents’ though. Following in the footsteps of her paranormal investigator father, Rose is a conduit for ghosts to communicate with the living. She comes across the curious case of Martin (Barry Ward), a widower who is being bossed about by his possessive wife. The only problem is that she’s dead and won’t leave the house. When Barry’s teenage daughter Sarah (Emma Coleman) is put under a spell by local Satanist Christian (Will Forte), who intends to sacrifice her, Rose must do what she can and battle the forces of evil with a weary sigh...

Called a tea-cosy "Ghostbusters," the film from the team at DADDY / Blinder films and directed by Irish directors Mike Ahern & Enda Loughman has already played at a number of film festivals including South By Southwest, Galway Film Fleadh and more..
