Is the Dublin International Screenwriting Festival legitimate? I was going to apply but I’m not entirely sure, there’s simple mistakes like duplicates in certain parts on their website and the photos of the founders are children, small things but a bit odd in my opinion? Anybody here have any experience with it?

Watched this a few years ago and I can’t remember what it was called

From what I remember the film was about a man that had been accused and arrested of murdering a woman. He went to jail and eventually got out. At some point the woman’s father had gotten him to help him dig up a field because the father was convinced that the man had buried his daughter in the field. But it turns out it was actually the woman’s sister who had murdered her and buried her next to a fairy tree (she knew her father would never dig up the tree). I think the film took place in Antrim or it was filmed there, just something about Antrim is ringing a few bells.

Any help would be appreciated, it’s been bothering me for a few days lmao

Is there any Post Production House on the west coast?

Hi there, American independent producer here. I'm putting together a few speculative schedules for possible shoots next year, and am trying to build in days the local crew would expect off work / or would demand a higher fee for working through.

Hey all,

I’m excited to share my latest short film Let The Wicked Rest, a psychological horror story that blends themes of insomnia, trauma, and regret. As an Irish filmmaker, I’ve always been drawn to the haunting nostalgia of old media, so I used a mix of archival VHS footage and modern digital shots to tell the story of an insomniac whose subconscious comes to life in horrifying ways.

The film is a personal project made on a small budget (€4,500) and shot with a dedicated group of collaborators. It’s been an amazing experience, and I’d love to hear from other Irish filmmakers on how they incorporate local influences or personal themes into their films.

If you’ve used mixed media in your projects, I’d love to hear your experiences too. How do you balance the aesthetic choice without it taking away from the story? Excited to hear your thoughts!

Ps. If you enjoy the film please do comment on the link and share with your friends. Any boost to the algorithm as an indie filmmaker helps :)

I’m currently a college student in a course that has me in campus three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and I’m currently working in food service making pizzas. However, a recent change in management has made the work environment incredibly toxic which has given me a good excuse to actually leave. However, looking for another job that suits my schedule has been proven to be very difficult. Fortunately, I have done a lot of work in student films and built a pretty nice portfolio that some people I’ve had the fortune of networking with have called pretty impressive so I figured that if I took up freelancing I’d be able to get money in something I love that I can fit around my schedule.

Does anyone know any extra sites that I can put my details up on and how good they are when grabbing a somewhat steady stream of jobs? I’m currently looking at Extra Agencies, Crew Directories and others. I plan to update my Celtic Casting profile and I’ve signed into Screen Crew & Services Database and Crewless.ie. My general plan is to use all these sites to get a steady stream of lower temporary jobs like as a Runner, etc to fill my pockets.

Aside from my schedule as a student, my biggest drawback is that I don’t have a car license. However, I conveniently live in North Wicklow at the heart of the action. Around the Greystones-Bray area.

I am so desperate for a job I’m thinking of walking into studios and giving them my paper resume in hopes for a call back. I am in the TV Media industry and I’m looking for small gigs like camera work and editing in Ireland and I am searching all the companies I can find. I either get no call or no reply. I have wide range of experiences I just want to get back out there. So this is my plan to get noticed. Would this work or have any positive impact?

What's the best way to scout locations? Even basic locations like a nice room for an interview. TIA

Movie Review: “An Taibhse” (The Ghost) Is The First Irish Language Horror Film, A Chilling Folk Horror With Ominous Atmosphere And Unsettling Imagery

Does vue cinemas accept cash?

Hi all,

I'm convinced I seen this film when I was younger but can't tell if I'm imaging it.

•Group of friends get in trouble of some sort •Sister and brother end up having sex, she says she has no choice •Drug dealer(?) that's after the group draws a bullseye on his forehead and later gets shot.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? It's driving me daft.

Thanks

Wondering what the best way to meet people in the industry.

Hopefully a place where you can either get people to help with your projects and vice versa (paid / unpaid) and get a bit of paid freelance work too (I'm a video editor myself)

Hey to anyone reading this. I’m a recent graduate of Film course and I’m looking for permanent employment here in Ireland. I have a good background in this field, I have worked on several films and grew my experience in this field.I’m lost for companies to apply to as I want to grow in film field. I’m looking for editing jobs or camera jobs with a good pay so I can afford rent in Dublin. Does anyone know what the monthly pay for these jobs would be ? Any help or recommendations I’ll be truly great-full.

Hey everyone, I want to create a group for amateur fillmakers who are interested in screenwriting, directing, acting, cinematography, and any other aspect of filmmaking, and want to actively work on it on the side. Anyone is welcome, whether you are a student, a working professional, or anyone else. I know there are Facebook groups that exist but I doubt they are as intimate, engaging or active as I want this group to be. PM me and I'll send you a link to a WhatsApp group, and once there are enough people to add to the group, l'll add everyone at once, so there's a decent amount of people when we start. This group would be mainly about working on your own projects, and helping each other with our projects, and conducting weekly/bi-weekly meetups, and maybe even film screenings every now and then. So, everyone who loves films and wants to be a filmmaker, let me know!

Hiya, I am looking for an old/ abandoned house with a long hallway and a door at the end for a scene in a music video. If anyone would know of anywhere like this please let me know, i’d really appreciate it. Thanks !

I need someone who has watched this movie to PLEASE tell me if I’m crazy or not. I swear I remember a scene where Luke gets with Michele, and I could have sworn that was in the movie when I watched it off some website. However, I rewatched it a few times on Pluto and it definitely isn’t in the movie. But was it never there? Or did Pluto remove it? Please someone help!

Recently watched this. I really enjoyed it. It looked fantastic and the sets were incredible. Being a huge western fan, I would have loved to have visited the set. Does anybody know if they still exist. Impressive structures, a shame if they were just destroyed, but understand that's probably what happened.

I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on a satirical street interview style project. Ideally somebody who is comfortable with pushing comedic boundaries and capable enough to frame whatever chaos we can cook up. The idea is to write and prepare absurd questions or bit’s based on current events and/or controversial topics.
There will be no trigger warnings and it would be ideal if you were familiar with MDE. This is not a paid gig however if the project succeeds before we get cancelled all profits will be 50/50 split.

I am looking for a short course to develop premier Pro editing skills. I am a complete beginner. Located in Ireland but open to online courses anywhere or possibly in person in the UK. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
