Walsh said, “To say Jump was a hard film to make would be an understatement. What makes it all worthwhile is witnessing the audience response at festivals both in Ireland and all over the world. However a cinema release throughout the island of Ireland is the most important part of the film’s life. Jump was tailor made to be watched on the big screen and I am very excited at the prospect of the Irish public having the opportunity to do so.”

The film will be up against three other releases the same day. Michael Winterbottom’s The Look Of Love [+see also:
