Noonan legally changed his name to Lattlay Fottfoy, an acronym for the family motto: “Look after those that look after you, fuck off those that fuck off you.”
Directed by Donal MacIntyre, “Gangster” screened at Sundance in 2007. Netflix subsid Red Envelope snapped up DVD rights.
Anywhere Road is an indie distrib whose recent releases include “Black Irish” and “Antonia.”
