This film is filmed in the heart of Dublin as the action takes place nearly
every part of it. The lighting and framing of the film is done inside and

her kitchen, living room and the local pub Foley’s. In this case, lighting

lighting comes from around the characters such as the sun and lights on
walls. Brendan O'Carroll and his family play Mrs Brown and her family,
and parts of her family were played by fellow colleagues and friends.
