Eat My Shorts Festival Summer 2010

So the first Eat My Shorts festival was a great success! We were thrilled to have a full house and a few more squeezed in around the edges and, judging by the feedback, people seem to have really enjoyed the eleven short films. It was amazing the variation in people's opinions on their favourites and not so favourites and I think a lively discussion on that subject was the sign of a good screening!

We'd like to thank everyone who came to show their support to Eat My Shorts and the film makers, Exchange Dublin, Rory Kirby, Robert Loughnane, Aisling Walsh, Flava Dave, Brian Herron, Brian O' Riordan & Michael Grennell for all their help and support and most of all, the incredibly talented film makers.

The next Eat My Shorts festival will take place in Winter 2010 and we will be sending out a call for submissions October-ish. Keep an eye out here for updates and email us on eatmyshortsfestival.com to be put on the mailing list. We're also hoping to put on a two-day festival next Summer so if you have any ideas or projects that you think would work as a collaboration, drop us a line.

"Making a great short film scheme is a springboard to a career in feature films, documentaries and television drama. However, most entries for short film schemes contain a good idea in a sketchy draft. This course will give the creative team behind the idea the skills to hone a screenplay.

There will be expert guidance in crafting short films to the standard sought by Bord Scannán/Irish Film Board and other funders. The course is designed to improve participants’ chances of being selected for any short film scheme and then making the best film possible. Participants will be shown how to develop an idea from conception to production-ready script, while avoiding the most common pitfalls. "
