Posted: July 6, 2012 in Documentary, mediaTags: limerick insider, Limerick.ie
Hi guys,
Scumbag Millionaire will be one of the films shown this Wednesday 4th July at the Mo Cinema event in Cobblestone Joes in Limerick from 9pm.
This is a good chance to catch up with the latest short films being created by film makers both local and national.
This was Andrew O’Gorman’s script and more so his moment to show how good of an actor he is too. A chilling piece detailing an interrogation of a terrorist in a city location.
Cast & Crew:
Andy O’Gorman
Simon McGuire
Stephen Hall
Graeme O’C
Tendai Manuel
Michael Byrne

This week gone saw three crews of film makers create a ‘Film In A Day’ for this months Behind the Scenes session, and what a trio of films they were. It is by no means an easy feat to bring together so many different people and ideas and create one film let alone three.
With Mark Griffin overseeing the project as a whole, All the teams first met at the George Boutique Hotel in Limerick at 10am on the Sunday. Here Jacinta and her great staff looked after the teas and coffee’s while the teams worked out games plans and other elements for their films.
Filming and editing took place from 11am on the Sunday to 3pm Monday afternoon where the three films then got their chance on the big screen at the Millennium Theatre at Limerick Institute of Technology.
Film 1 – Stamp
This film was very cleverly thought out from beginning to end. With a low dialogue script but heavy on imagery and performances, namely from Maeve McGrath, was shot in 4 different locations including dock road Limerick, raheen and Curraghchase. Given the premise of a post nuclear fallout and betrayal, the audience journeyed with the main character in a battle of survival.
Film 2 – Dr. Noel Hope
Nigel Mercier and Eoin Moloney deliver fantastic comedic perforamces with a heart warming ending that certainly left the audience wanting to see more. With locations on the streets of Limerick and on the quays by the Shannon river, dr.Noel Hope delivers his original advise on unsuspecting patients.
Film 3 – Killer Recession
This was Andrew O’Gorman’s script and more so his moment to show how good of an actor he is too. A chilling piece detailing an interrogation of a terrorist in a city location. With multiple cameras and even a Stephen Hall trademark explosion, chaos ensues as the captor finds his moment to escape.
In all, a great two days and a second ‘film in a day’ is planned for later in the year.

MWRA and Limerick City Council host DIEGO seminar in Limerick – 26th April 2012
This seminar, organised by the Mid-West Regional Authority and Limerick City Council, was held on Thursday, 26th April 2012 in the Clarion Hotel, Steamboat Quay, Limerick City from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. The seminar aimed to present the policies and trends in Ireland with regard to Digital Inclusion and the progress to date of implementing the Digital Agenda for Europe.
The seminar also presented the DIEGO pilot currently underway in Limerick and some of the results to date. The pilot, accessible through the simply.limerick.ie website aims to make some Limerick City Council services and information available to citizens who may have a lack of digital skills.
We were commissioned to create an effective and creative piece that explains the impact on the ground DIEGO is creating. The finished piece had a playout at the seminar and was well received.
Well done to all involved including all the help from Ronan Murphy, Limerick Community Connect; Deirdre Byrne, Mid West Regional Authority; and Mihai Bilauca of Limerick City Council.
