CR2Y
CR2Y
CR2Y, written and directed by Brian Francis Devaney, is a pilot episode for a proposed television series that explores themes of adolescence, memory, and self-confrontation. At its heart, the piece asks: what happens when we come face to face with our teenage selves?
The series seeks to unravel how memory shapes identity, how we can play with our past without being trapped by it, and how revisiting formative experiences might allow us to let go of judgment, embrace change, and discover freedom in the roles we play in life.
The pilot was filmed in July 2023 as a co-production between Brian Francis Devaney, Temper Hound Productions, and members of Know Promises Theatre Collective, with the majority of the Collective forming the core creative team. KPTC members contributed across all areas of the process, serving as actors, director, writer, art department manager, script advisor, and production base management, alongside a local cast and crew drawn from the North-West of Ireland.
Following post-production, a private screening took place in summer 2025, marking the first opportunity to share the work with audiences and collaborators. The screening highlighted the pilot’s evocative storytelling and multidisciplinary energy, establishing a strong foundation for the next stage of development.
The creators are now in the process of approaching national and international producers with the aim of developing CR2Y into a full television series that expands on its themes and vision
