Donal's film and camera work

Ok so I really am the worst blogger in the world. But hey I though I'd put an entry in anyway. We are still trying go get Donal's film made. We met a director who replied to an ad I put up. She has made a couple of feature films. We really wanted to get an experienced director together to make this movie because we will have a better chance of funding in the future.

Myself and Donal also decided to write again to Cherida who was supervising the script to ask advice about applying for funding for the film because she used to work for the film board. We will see what happens. I was also filming a health board video today in the Alexander in town hotel and will edit it too. Got 300 euros for it so it' was cool.

Aside from that I am still thinking of setting upa a media company. Have a meeting with the Terenure Enterprise Board Monday. Myself and Donal are also planning to shoot a couple of short films soon as well to build up some work we can show for applying for funding for something we could possibly direct out selves.

Final Cut Pro Advanced exam

I forgot say that I had my final cut pro exam last week for advanced level and i didn't pass. I was really that bothered because it is kind of a stupid multi choie exam anyway. I'm just concentrating now anyway on learning Avid media composer as well as learning how to use my new camera for filming.

Update on a Family Film

Myself and Donal have continued to try to get A Family film made. I'm not sure if I mentioned but I put an email on filmmakers network to get a producer and director for the film. We have on experienced director called Fiona Graham who is interested in the project. We are meeting her next week and were also told by a guy from another production company that we should try to get at least 250,000 euros for this film in order to get it made. With FIona on board this would be a possibility from the film board because she has experience directing features as it is. We have also had feedback from other parties that the story needs more plot. With that in mind I got Donal to write out a structure of the whole thing scene by scene to see if I can suggest some kind of injection into the plot or even just trying to make it better in some parts in order to make it a better movie. We will see what happens.
