Do you mean the Irish Film Board?

What industry??
We filmmakers are banging our heads off brick walls. No funding or support. Eating pot noodles and baked beans just to live while spending evrey last ounce of soul to make a bloody film that nobody will ever see.
The film festivals will only show films of people they know and like and therefore denying real talent to ake any headway.
The amount of irish features i've seen that noone else will get to just cos the Film Board(what they do and how they can get away with employing 40 people to do it is beyond me...) will not support them. Eg. Bloom is out in the cinemas at the mo. Headrush is coming out next Fri. Mickybo and me from NIFC came out couple of month ago with LOADSA press coverage and yet these Irish films get ZERO!!
THey should start doing their job or as always Ireland will lose all their talent to immigration...

We want WAR! We want what's ours!

can you please explain this line? I understand the frustration of the rest of your post but that line seems very out of place?

Andrew Duffy

I think he means emigration.

you should just make really controversial movies, violent and erm ... disturbing and stuff.

I feel your pain!! I'm looking at going to Canada or America (although visas are impossible) to work. It's totally about who you know and not what you know. You gotta get over this if you wanna continue to work in the film industry and just wait for a break...

OP.
CHeck out the Irish Film & Television Network, Film Ireland, Film Base or if you wanna do extra work and the like moviesextra.ie and backstage. Good luck finding work.
