LOGLINE

Rose, a mostly sweet & mostly lonely Irish small-town driving instructor, must use her supernatural

talents to save the daughter of Martin (also mostly sweet & lonely) from a washed-up rock star who

is using her in a Satanic pact to reignite his fame.

SHORT SYNOPSIS

Rose, a sweet, lonely driving instructor in rural Ireland, is gifted with supernatural abilities. Rose

has a love/hate relationship with her ‘talents’ & tries to ignore the constant spirit related requests

from locals - to exorcise possessed rubbish bins or haunted gravel. But! Christian Winter, a washed

up, one-hit-wonder rock star, has made a pact with the devil for a return to greatness! He puts a

spell on a local teenager- making her levitate. Her terrified father, Martin Martin, asks Rose to help

save his daughter. Rose has to overcome the fear of her supernatural gift & work with Martin to

save the girl, get the guy and be home in time for a light snack...maybe a yogurt or something...

LONG SYNOPSIS

Rose is a sweet, lonely driving instructor in Ireland with supernatural abilities called “The Talents”

that allow her to communicate with spirits (inherited from her father Vincent, who made a living

peddling videos about the supernatural.) Rose has a love/hate relationship with her gifts, (blaming

herself for her father’s death), and ignores the community’s requests to investigate ghouls in the

cupboard or headless horsemen scaring cows. So when widower Martin, haunted by his nagging ex-

wife Bonnie, contacts her for help at the behest of his teen daughter Sarah, Rose brushes him off. But

she can’t shake Martin from her mind, and her sister Sailor encourages her to at least consider the

job.

Meanwhile, local aging rock star Christian Winter has a sinister plan for success – virgin sacrifice. He

casts a spell on Sarah leaving her levitating and catatonic. Martin begs Rose’s help, and she agrees.

From Vincent’s notes, Rose learns that to save her they must exorcise ghosts for a counter-spell…and

fast. They’ve two days before Sarah’s dragged into a fiery pit of hell.

Martin and Rose set about the exorcisms, while Sailor minds Sarah. Despite the weird situations -

haunted wheelie bins, rude oil painting, possessed toilet roll - they work well together. And there’s

budding attraction between them - though neither act on it.

But when Christian learns of their plan, he blocks Rose's talents, in doing so trapping Bonnie’s ghost

inside Martin's body. Martin and Bonnie fight for control, and in the chaos Christian summons Sarah

to his castle….

Rose, Martin (still struggling with Bonnie) and Sailor hightail it after Sarah, arriving to discover

Christian has managed to open a gateway to hell. To save Sarah they’ll have to to close the portal in

the most awkward way possible…

QUOTES FROM WRITER/DIRECTORS MIKE AHERN AND ENDA LOUGHMAN Regarding Shoot & Casting - "We are delighted we have somehow convinced an incredible group of

actors and funny people we really admire, along with an amazing crew and some random folk that

we just wanted to meet, to join our fever dream and make this mysterious romantic oddball ghost

story love comedy adventure film. The timely script obviously hit home as it shines a light on

important, serious issues like that of haunted rubbish bins in rural Ireland. The fact that International

super talent Will Forte has come on board suggests the topic of tiny hauntings is a universal problem

that needs to be highlighted and addressed. See you at the Oscars! "

Regarding SXSW Premiere - “We couldn’t imagine a more fitting festival to show EXTRA ORDINARY

for its world premiere. Just like in our film, the SXSW line-up will no doubt feature a few creepy rock

stars, as well as some weird but lovable folk with supernatural powers. It’s the perfect fit. We are

very excited and honoured!”

SOME NOTES ON THE FILM FROM WRITER/DIRECTORS MIKE AHERN AND ENDA LOUGHMAN

Background & Tone

EXTRA ORDINARY is a character based romantic comedy with supernatural elements. The initial idea

was inspired by two characters very briefly mentioned in this article that we felt focused a lot of other

funny ideas we were having re: Ireland's rural spirit-world. We liked this description:

'We contacted husband-and-wife ghost-hunters Ray and Beryl Herne from Central Parade to send the

poltergeist packing. Spirit medium Ray, a 52-year-old lorry driver, says he can draw the gross ghost into

him while Beryl, 59, will envelope it in a "vortex of light" and send it to the "other side." Beryl said:

"Sometimes spirits need to be here. There is usually a reason. Sometimes it's family. Sometimes we have

to alleviate some stress."

While the article was silly, these sentences grabbed our attention as an initial basis for some great

very local yet very universal characters. Describing Ray: Ray, 'a 52-year-old lorry driver'. This made

Page 4: THE HAUNTINGS BEGIN IN THEATERS MARCH, 2020...3 But when Christian learns of their plan, he blocks Rose's talents, in doing so trapping Bonnie’s ghost inside Martin's body. Martin

our minds flip. How does 'enveloping spirits' become a normal thing to do? How did they meet? What

are her gifts? How does she counsel the ghosts? A world of ideas started to emerge.

The title EXTRA ORDINARY informs the tone we created with this film, in that from the outside these

are very ordinary people, 'extra, ordinary' in fact, and in many instances the supernatural

occurrences are almost banal.

We have very deliberately flipped the Horror movie idea that all hauntings are these big powerful

demons that tear people apart and ravage bloody revenge on the living. We want the opposite of

that. Hauntings can’t be seen because ghosts are small and a bit crap. They bit like humans, stuck in

a situation they don't like with low energy and can’t figure a way out.

Rose, our hero, is inhabiting a world that is quite banal to her. It’s extra ordinary because she knows

what’s out there but chooses not to look. In fact, when we meet her she has rejected her gifts - it’s

the arc of her accepting them, and the story that unfolds is 'extraordinary' to her and especially the

viewer.

Themes

As well as the themes of overcoming loss, of ‘being stuck’, and finding love - we think there are other

underlying tones and themes across the film such as living in a small town. In a broader way, our

film’s tone captures the tropes of a culturally specific landscape with close observations of the quiet

tedium and comedically morbid nature of small-town Ireland. Your mother ringing you and telling

you who has died. The paradox of myth and religion. 'It's fairy magic, god help us’.

It’s somewhere in between loneliness and tradition. We both love Irish folklore, superstition and

stories and we feel this film treats and examines them in an inventive, unique and fondly comedic

way. We have added a lot of our own character and character’s we know from this rural Irish

landscape to the story, albeit at times heightened versions. We wanted to stay true to these people

and ideas, by tonally holding back from being a cartoon version of rural Ireland, our characters and

scenarios are funny but we take them seriously.

Vincent & The Talents series.

The Talents is a colloquial 'general' name for the supernatural gifts that Rose possesses. Although

fictional, we are basing the ideas within it, on Irish beliefs, from faith healers to superstitions and old

folklore practices. We also were inspired by Charles Fort's strange studies and writings on a host of

Page 5: THE HAUNTINGS BEGIN IN THEATERS MARCH, 2020...3 But when Christian learns of their plan, he blocks Rose's talents, in doing so trapping Bonnie’s ghost inside Martin's body. Martin

extraordinary phenomena which bridge the borderlands between science and fantasy. Again, a

universal idea, we are just focused on the local.

Rose's father Vincent is an expert in The Talents, and pops up as a guide throughout the film. We

introduce the idea that he is obsessed with documenting the Talents and has created a rudimentary

guide to the supernatural gift. It is presented like a series of lo-fi circa 1990's ‘Investigating the

Extraordinary’ instructional videos, sometimes quite detailed, all surrounding supernatural

phenomena in Ireland, what they are, and how to deal with them. Visually we treated these segments

as realistically as possible, while still divining the comedy from a well-placed Voice Over and

unexpected image. They mimic the naive style of simple home edit and using graphics and titling that

you would find on Instructional Videos of this nature and time period.

If Ghosts exist why don't we see them every day?

As we wrote and directed the film we had a quite clear ‘manifesto’ of self-imposed rules throughout

the process. This guide governs how much, or in the case of this film, how little visual effects we

would like to see on screen. Our hauntings are all invisible, our ghosts never seen, just suggested and

ingested. Our ghosts are characters instead of effects. This we feel is a somewhat unique and comedic

take on the horror tropes, creating a fresh funny take on genre stereotypes. We decided to leave a lot

to the power of suggestion and when we do see something to stylistically do as much as possible in-

camera, rather than a digital effect. Small moments will become a big deal.

We both come from a design and animation background and at different stages have worked

extensively in post-production, animating and creating effects on our own projects and for other

people. With this in mind we incorporated hauntings into the script in a certain way to limit the

amount of on-screen effects, we feel this decision of limitation adds to the story and characters.

To suit the 'everyday' - the ‘ordinary’ world concept and tone, we wanted the opposite of a film with

many effects and big set pieces. We saved the big production value and vision we have to build to the

end. Itl demanded more from our actors and (hopefully!) will pay off in laughs. We feel it also builds

the film to a visual crescendo by holding our VFX trump cards until the final scenes. And even in that

sequence we have designed the Ghost Demon to be a purposefully a clever nod to the 'classic idea of

a ghost' and also how simply ghosts have been portrayed in film history, animation photography and

art.

QUOTES FROM PRODUCERS Regarding Shoot & Casting - We're thrilled to be working with an incredible cast of hilarious, talented

people, and to be supported by a brilliant crew. Mike and Enda are real talents and have written a

unique, madcap, hilarious and slightly appalling script and are bringing it to life with such obsessive

attention to detail it’s frankly exhausting. Truly though, we are extraordinarily proud to be producing

their debut feature and we hope that audiences will fall in love with the characters and their hilarious

adventures just as much as we have."

Regarding SXSW Premiere - “We're thrilled to be having our World Premiere in SXSW which holds a

special place in our hearts after the incredible experience we had there with CITADEL. We're

extraordinarily proud of Mike and Enda's debut feature and we hope that audiences there will fall in

love with their unique characters and their hilarious madcap adventures just as much as we have."

SOME NOTES FROM BLINDER FILMS PRODUCERS

From the outset EXTRA ORDINARY was a stand out project for us. Immediately after reading the

treatment, we were both completely charmed by its fun and fresh approach to romantic comedy and

also the tongue in cheek nature of its ungainly exploration of the spiritual and superstitious world of

rural Ireland. This particular thread injected a wonderful juxtaposition of nostalgia to the newer

romantic, comedic territory it traverses. We believed this dichotomy would be one of its strongest

selling points.

We are very excited to be working Mike and Enda on their first feature. We love the innovation and

approach in their work, across the board from their commercial projects to their short films, MR.

FOLEY and THE HATCH. Their work is predominantly pitched left of centre, always deliciously funny

with varying levels of darkness and irreverence while at the same time always very satisfying to their

audience. With EXTRA ORDINARY they are challenging not only the conventions of the romantic

comedy but also that of supernatural horror. While romantic comedy has been going through a

subversive period, it is still hard to find one which subverts the isolation, frustration and loneliness

of rural living from a dramatic theme, to a story you can evoke great humour and strong resolution

from. The supernatural comedies of the last few years seem to have pitched predominantly in the

slapstick camp with few exceptions. EXTRA ORDINARY not only presents the supernatural side of

Ireland in a comedic light, but also has threads of real darkness running through it, as well as,

ultimately, real heart. We’re so delighted we’ve been able to help Mike and Enda bring this world and

their characters to life.
