- Movie available on digital platforms after Tribeca Film Festival screening.

Writer, director, and actor Edward Burns discusses his latest film, Finnegan's Foursome, a dramedy exploring sibling dynamics through grief. Burns was inspired by conversations about family and loss, aiming to depict two brothers with contrasting views on their late father.
One brother accepts his father's absence, while the other grapples with feelings of neglect. The film features Burns and Brian d'Arcy James as the central brothers, Freddy and Teddy, who travel to Ireland after their father's passing.
Filmed in Ireland, the production utilized stunning locations, including Carne Golf Links in County Mayo, which Burns described as a "show stopper." The movie became available for rent or purchase on digital platforms on Friday, June 19, 2026, after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month.
