Scumbag Millionaire didn’t come away with any awards from the Dare Media Underground Short Film Festival on Saturday night, however we did get short listed into the final three for the Best Director award which is some feat considering there was a large number of films entered. Every film maker loves to get an award but there is also a sense of achievement to be short listed for any category. That you made an impression in some way.

Scumbag millionaire has been a labour of love like most short films but it was the great cast and crew that brought the idea to life.

Monday 11th – Belltable Arts Centre
Today saw the launch of events of the LIT Film Festival 2011 at the Belltable Arts Centre on O’Connell Street.
The Limerick Film Forum took place with a script reading of Dermott Petty’s (Dir) film, ‘Time Travel and the Leaving Cert’. With multiple cast members present, the audience were given an insight to how a script is rehearsed by a director and his cast. Dermott answered questions afterwards and stated that he hoped to get funding for the project and start production some time later this year.

Make sure you get to the Exhibition Day (Tuesday). Promises to be a great opportunity for budding film and video makers alike with workshops from Rory Gavin of Reelgood Facilities, Dublin and a Sony Workshop on HDV and XDCAM EX Cameras with also some brand new cameras direct from Sony HQ in London.

The programme of events was launch yesterday and there has been hugh interest in the festival. Out of 70 application forms, 45 films made it in. We would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who entered. The films are currently being judged and sorted in to the catagories:

Best Camera, Best Lighting, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Story, Best Acting, Best Director, Best Factual, Best Artistic, Best Drama, Special Adjudicators Award and Best Overall Film.

While we hope everyone gets a nomination in at least one catagory, some films may not reach the standard every category.

Screenings of the Films will be on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th April at the Millennium Theatre.

As for the awards night… its going to be a big one with the glammour and glitz and red carpet. We have set up a special ticketing system for the Friday night event (15th April) and you can avail of that here.
