Quote from Locations Manager Gordon Wycherley following Pilgrimage shoot

Gordon Wycherley, Locations Manager, Pilgrimage (2015)

County Mayo has been a truly wonderful place to make a movie. I think this film 'Pilgrimage' will be enhanced greatly by the fact that we chose to shoot in Mayo. The diversity and beauty of locations that exist there is stunning. The people are extremely helpful and open to the idea of filming their beautiful County. I hope to return again soon with other productions to this beautiful part of the world!
