Showcase 2011

"Birthday" our 3rd film shoot has come to an end!

We had a fantastic week (27th June - 1st July) of filming in The Lodge, Coolmine Therapeutic Community.  We would like to thank all residences, staff and especially the kitchen for taking care of us all week.  The food was yummy and fresh from Coolmine's garden.  We were really spoilt.

A big thank you also to Cafe Azteca on Lord Edward Street who provided their Cacti window display free to charge.  Another big thank you to Mac's Salvage, Islandbridge for supplying barrels & props for the week.

There are some pictures below.

We are planning to launch the film in the Autumn.  Check back here in September for screening times.
