The new production by Matt Kelly Productions, ‘That’s Limerick’ is launched tonight by the Limerick Communications Office.

Experience some of the best attributes and experiences on offer in this excellently produced video to promote all that is great about Limerick City.

I was delighted to be of some help to Matt and Marion in its production. Well done to them!!

 

Local Heroes is an RTÉ-supported initiative focused on dealing with unemployment through local, citizen-lead initiatives.

The RTÉ TV series ‘Local Heroes – A Town Fights Back’ has shown Drogheda’s citizens coming together to jump-start their local economy and create jobs.

Their imaginative solutions to tackle unemployment, guided by experts, inspired us to create our own Limerick Local Heroes group.

There has been confirmation that Animo TV Production will have a team filming our town hall meeting in  the Strand Hotel on Monday 30 Jan 2012 from 6pm

The same crew was involved in the filming and production of the  RTE series ‘Local Heroes – A Town Fights Back‘ in Drogheda last year.

Our own local Red Paw Media, well known for productions like “Concy Ryan” and the Rubberbandits’ Horse  Outside, who had already kindly agreed to support the Limerick Local Heroes initiative , will also be filming the event.

Every community needs its Local Heroes!

Written by Eleanor McSherry (Limerick Journalist and Writer) for the Film Ireland Website, is an article/interview about the exciting plans for the old Theatre Royal site in Limerick City. (See Picture INSET)

If this project goes ahead this will certainly create new openings and opportuinities for both the media student and local film maker alike. Limerick has a wide variety of talent in this sector and a hub like this will cerrainly help film makers get their projects seen.
