The big news is that Charlie Casanova has been selected as one of eight films (out of a total submission of 984 films) to be in the Narrative Feature competition in the 2011 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas. This is a huge coup for the film and is truly exciting news indeed. The festival starts this Friday 11th March and Charlie Casanova will be screened three times, the first (its world premiere) will be on Sunday 13th March at the State Theatre on Congress Avenue. Naturally, I have my fingers crossed for the film and for its writer, producer and director Terry McMahon.

Vimeo killed the ramio star...
I have set myself up on Vimeo where a selection of my film and music video editing work can be seen - go to http://vimeo.com/user1457770 . I will, of course, be adding more clips regularly.
It just keeps getting better
I had the enormous pleasure of seeing Crossing Salween (see earlier posts) on the lovely big screen in the Irish Film Institute as part of the Irish Film Board Short Film Programme during the recent Dublin International Film Festival. It looked and sounded absolutely lush, thanks to the gorgeous cinematography of Richard Kendrick and the stunning score by Steve Lynch. You can see the trailer at

Lisa Vandegrift Davala's film, For Peace Comes Dropping Slow..., has been selected for competition in the New Hope Film Festival in Pennsylvania, USA. I had the pleasure of editing this film in her beautiful artist's studio in a remote part of County Sligo last August.
