Science and logic have provided us with explanations for many things, but there remains at the core of human beings a love of and a need for mystery, magic and myth.

This video explores the nature of belief and traditional storytelling in rural Ireland through the eyes of the inhabitants of Feakle, Co. Clare, a town still feeling the lingering influence of their famous 'wise-woman', Biddy Early (1798-1874).

Hello all,

Whats the take on film studies masters courses?

I have always had a hugh interest in Film and I have completed a few short courses. One in filmbase and a couple for college credits.

I would love to get involved in the industry and I have had mixed feedback on whether the masters is the best route to take.

Any advice would be greatly appretiated . . . . .

Hey WoolahUrma, there is a lot to be said for self learning and development in this industry, but courses like that really do offer a great doorway for not just the education but the networking.

Film is built on the mixed strengths and talents of individuals and anything like that where you can work with people and get to know them is great. Its also great to find where your passion in film is. As much as people try, no one is brilliant at everything and its nice to have people who you know can help or advise.

This is exactly it, I have an idea of what I might like to do within the business but I have no contacts, connections or practical experience to inform these notions. My big worry is spending time and money on a one year course and having nothing tangible to show for it at the end. Like for instance, I took particular interest in x during the course and now I'm off to get experience with the director who is established in making x.

I suppose that that's where building up the contacts etc comes in.

I know that lenny abrahamson is the director of the trinity masters.

Hi there, I'm a songwriter, I've been recording my songs from home since I started making music in 2007.

I'm looking to write a soundtrack for a film, with songs based around it.

Basically I think maybe getting the plot or watching the film first, I can then write an EP around that, to go with the film.

It will be a new challenge for me.

Just made my website yesterday, you can hear everything I have done on it.

I have an album called Runway by Andrew Brady on Spotify iTunes etc.

Have never been to a recording studio.

Want a new challenge, as I am wanting to try new things now.

Also I will do it for free just for my new challenge, would be cool to even do a soundtrack for people into film production that are in the same boat as me with my music, just being creative and trying to further themselves.
Regards.

I've decided it's time to put the movie I worked on with James Browne, Irma Mali, Ruth Hayes, John Ryan Howard, Pascal Scott, Páraic English, Dan O'Connell, Valerie Hely and Jason Keane up on line.
It's a short movie called: Searching For Ten



Shot in Cork and Waterford on a Canon 7D.
