It sounds like a joke, but the guys behind a new short film series set in Portugal - An Englishman and an Irishman walk into a Bar in Portugal - are absolutely serious. Absolutely serious about having fun in bars all over Portugal, along with the diverse and delightful cast of characters that own, run and frequent them.
The revellers in question are Carl Munson, the Englishman, and host of the ‘Good Morning Portugal! Show’, which livestreams to a growing and devoted audience of foreigners and native Portuguese every weekday morning; Bobby O’Reilly, the Irishman, and property developer who heads UrHome and Dynasty Homes, who continue to attract considerable investment interest in Portugal; plus Andrew Cline, an American professor of documentary filmmaking who completes the trio with the necessary production skills.
All three are permanent residents of the country and have a deep and growing affection for Portuguese culture, which they hope to showcase in their short film series. They are keen to stress that this is an entirely boot-strapped production based almost entirely on a mutual passion for Portugal and the goodwill of all taking part.
“It had long been a wish of mine to document and celebrate life in Portugal,” says Carl, “with a heavy emphasis on food, wine and local characters. With the arrival of expert film-maker Andy, the idea seemed to have legs, just like the sea creature featured in our first episode!”
“Bobby, we soon discovered, was also interested in sharing the unassuming beauty of Portuguese culture around the world, which led to a first filming event in Tomar, late last year. The Silver Coast provided the backdrop for our second ‘shoot’, and Coimbra at Christmas time, the third.
With so many bars to choose from, and with so many bar owners, who are more often than not, fascinating characters, the challenge for us has been, and will remain, one of being spoiled for choice, not scarcity of opportunity or content,” adds Carl.
