Location, Location, Location!
7pm, Thursday 4th August 2011
This session focussed on the topic of locations. On the night we spoke to a number of filmmakers about the various issues to bear in mind when deciding on locations for use in shorts and the practical issues that need to be taken in to account.

HUM (2010)
12 mins
Written and Directed by Rebecca Daly
Produced by Melanie Berke, Martin Heisler, Rachel Lysaght
The story of Hum begins in an abandoned house. Dead bees scatter every window ledge and lie, legs splayed, on the exposed floor. A mutilated piano waits upstairs in an empty afternoon. There is a strong sense of the past of the house, of its holding secrets, of its holding silences. A woman (Kerry Condon) climbs the wooden staircase, pausing to remove her shoes. She has come here in search of silence.
Hum was made through the Berlinale Talent Campus Short Film scheme.
RUNNERS (2009)
16 min
Written by Pierce Ryan
Directed by Rob and Ronan Burke
Produced by John Wallace
For eighteen year old Derek, running drugs isn't a big deal, it's just a job. But juggling a relationship, family and his 'career' isn't easy. Something has to give.
