TD Tom has Jenny’s vote as they elect for shot at a film

-

FAIR CITY actress Jenny Dixon is big-screen bound – she has just wrapped on her first feature film.

Her TD boyfriend Tom Neville also stars in the film Full Circle as the pair who bonded over their passion for acting make their movie debut together.

The couple have also just set up a production company – and they’ve already shot two short films.

Tom Neville, right, was elected to the Dáil for Limerick County on his first attempt in 2016, replacing his father, former TD Dan Neville. He was also a county councillor between 2003 and 2009 and from 2014 to 2016.

Jenny, right, and Tom have been dating since they met at the Richard Harris Internatio­nal Film Festival in 2015.

Jenny, who plays ditzy Kerri-Ann in RTÉ’s Fair City, shows off her broad acting talents as her character in Full Circle is worlds apart from blonde-with-the-bigheart Kerri-Ann.

The actress said she was delighted with the film: ‘We have almost completed production stages with just one day of filming before it goes into post-production. It is due to be screened at Christmas. It’s a really great cast and crew.’

She also revealed that her TD boyfriend Tom landed a role in the movie after impressing director Noel Brady.

Meath-based director Mr Brady had high praise for Jenny. He said: ‘I met Jenny years ago through a group called Attic Studio. It was a group for actors, directors and producers to meet up. She plays a producer in Full Circle – an entirely different character from Kerri-Ann.’
