‘A Selfless Act’ was made especially for the Ford 8minutes Competition and addresses the themes of hope, selflessness and the division of classes from the Titanic 100 Celebrations. The film features an old homeless man (played by Frank Hurley) who has a brief encounter with a wealthy young business man (played by John Ryan Howard).
Set in Cork City on a wet and dreary night and shot entirely on location by Director of photography, Jason Keane, the film uses 100% natural lighting and features an amazing soundtrack performed by Odi, entitled ” One in a Million” which can be purchased online http://www.odimusic.co.uk, http://www.itunes.com/odi
We had a great time making this film, which was all shot in one night and the edit was finalised only 3 days later, we had great help and support making it from some really great people, including the fantastic Staff and Management of Londis on Bridge Street, they even gave us free Coffee!! Catherine Crowley who ran around ragged trying to piece together the costumes and props, Valerie Hely who helped us get the awesome ‘Odi’ soundtrack, Desiree Murphy for feeding us all as we ran around like blue arse flies.

Cork based company StormVids have recently teamed up with The Naomh ColmCille Youth Club to start ACTION – a new tv and film-making mentoring project where we are teaching the kids in Farranree to make films so they can adapt their award winning play, ‘The Wrong Turn’ into a short film.
The kids will be mentored through various workshops and on the sets of all and any films we make.
We are holding a Film Themed Pub Quiz in the Crane Lane on Sunday the 8th of March at 7:30pm to raise funds for the ACTION project! There will be prizes on the night and Pascal Scott (from Killinaskully) will be our guest MC. Also watch out for the Roman Soldiers who will be guarding the answers carefully!
€20 for a team of 4.
