Hey everyone,
Just letting ye all know there is a screening this Thursday (8th April 2010) night at 8pm, get there earlier as seats are limited. The nights feature is The Shout:
Idyllic Devon locations. Hot, liquid afternoons; a game of cricket watched by ‘mad’ trees, the air punctuated by the cries of peacocks and a terrifying story of a man from the outback, who exercised the right to kill his children and who can kill anyone with the Terror Shout. A man (Alan Bates) who infiltrates the lives of a couple who live in a remote cottage by a rocky coast. A man who takes the wife (Susannah York) as his own property leaving the husband (John Hurt) utterly powerless, until he finds the man’s soul trapped in a pebble. The shout itself …truly disturbing. The ending brings both the story and the the cricket game together in spectacular fashion. At the close of play, you realize you’ve witnessed a straight horror story that is grounded in mundane reality.
Should be a good one.
It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally managed to get off our backsides and hold a screening night! With a selection of private first time screenings including…

The Screening Takes Place at 7.30pm sharp on Tuesday 26th May at The Triskel Arts Centre Tickets can be purchased on the night for €5. Cover charge will cover cost of the room. There should be a good crowd there and I know lots of people have projects they would like to discuss with fellow filmmakers.
Directors will be there on the night to take any questions.
UPDATE NOTE: Tickets are Limited to 90 seats and I’ve already been asked to reserve 40 so if you want to make sure you get a ticket and not be disappointed on the night you can reserve them by sending me an email to
