Limerick Leader Article July 2012
After nearly a year already since I last worked with Simon, we were filming again this week at the UL Arena in Limerick City.
Simon appeared on TV3’s Ireland AM on 19th july with his trainer Jason Kenny of Forever Fit Promotions, where a series of shots of him training that we shot were played back in studio.
Last years project was all about the Flexifoot ferrel product but this year sees Simon promoting ‘out on a limb’ and just from filming its hard not to be inspired by the guy.
Here is the full Ireland AM (TV3) spot.
For the second year running I had the pleasure in recording Limerick’s National Day of Commemoration for our past service men and women. Joining me at City Hall on camera was Ben O’Sullivan, where we captured the officiating representatives of the faith traditions and members of Limerick City Council and of the Oireachtas.
After each representative gave a prayer the new mayor Cllr. Jerry McLoughlin laid a wreath at the plaque on behalf of the people of Ireland.
This ceremony also took place across other cities such as Galway, Cork, Waterford, Killkenny and Dublin.
The final DVD was edited for City Hall’s records and commissioned by Futureama Productions.
In honour of all those Irishmen and Irishwomen who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations.

White collar boxing
Currently I’m putting the finishing touches to the White Collar Boxing DVD. Shot on June 28th at the South court Hotel in Limerick, this event draws in a big crowd cheering on their friends and family in a sporting competition for their chosen charities.
With 13 fights and a special interview afterwards with Forever Fit Promotions crew, Blue Shinners and Jason Kenny, the first showing will be on Friday night in Peter Clohessey’s Bar in Limerick from 7pm, where everyone will look back at all the fights and discuss the action.
I would like to thank Blue and Jason as well as Theo and Pat of Munster images for the support over the production of the DVD.

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.

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.
