'Kim', directed by Kathy Raftery was shown in The Galway Film Fleadh last week and I have been reliably informed that it was received very well. I'm really glad for Kathy, and it was such a pity I couldn't make it down to the festival myself. I've been stuck up in Dublin rehearsing and working and doing bits and bobs. The trailer for it is HERE if anyone wants to take a peek!
The pic above is a still from 'Kim'. Note my face-o-woe.
In other news, the screening of 'Tonight's Special' in Odessa on the 23rd of June went quite well. People laughed, which is the best bit and I have a copy of it now so it's there, ready and waiting for me to get my act together and make a showreel.
The good thing is, apparently there is some interest in the project, meetings have been had a whatnot. Again, all of it may come to nought, but I'd like to think that with all the effort that everyone put in, both cast and crew, that something will come of it. Got my copy of it on the day as well. I showed it to my family later, who got a good laugh out of it.
This is a pic that appeared in The Herald on 26th of June. On the left beside me is Aoibheann McCaul and behind the two of us are Robbie Sloan the director and Arthur Deeny, the writer. Nice to get one's face in the paper (even if it's tiny and right at the back!!).
Also, the screening of 'Bleeding Love' as part of the IADT showcase on the 30th June, in fact, the showcase in general, went very well. There's some serious talent in that class and they're very driven. We got to watch all the films in the wonderful surroundings of The Lighthouse cinema, which I had never been to before. Beautiful building, must go there again.
I received my copy of 'Bleeding Love' in the post so that's another film that I have my hands on for incorporating into a showreel. All I need now is a copy of 'Kim' and for 'No Justice' to be finished, although, if I could just get ahold of 'Kim', I think that would be MORE than enough, particularly added to what I already have.
Preparation has begun for Whiplash's next show in the Fringe Festival (as well as some prep for stuff coming WAY down the line). We did a photo shoot recently to get some promotional material together for the Fringe Festival website and brochure. I'll post up a couple of pics, not taken by the professional photographer, but those taken by a few of us mucking around on the day with various cameras and phones. I'll also post up a couple of stills from 'Bleeding Love' when I get myself organised.
Annnnnnd finally, the most exciting thing recently was travelling up to Belfast to audition for 'Your Highness'. I haven't heard a peep yet either way from my agent but it was great to get out there and finally get sent for something paid and professional by my agent. As a first outing for them it was quite an adventure, especially for all of us who had to come up from Dublin as there was a security alert and the border was closed... cue massive delays. Oh well, it was worth anyway!!
I think that's all for now!
Enjoy
