“I’m a Brazilian film student and I’m one of those foreign students who have been having trouble with immigration to extend our visas.
I’ve been living in Ireland for 4 years and now I’m studying my ass off to get my MA in Film Production, but currently my visa is expired and I have to wait till the authorities decide what to do with us. I just would like to say that there are indeed some of us who come here to study and try to succeed.
I’ve made a short portrait documentary on this very talented Brazilian musician who made and produced his first EP here in Ireland.
I also shot a music video for “Love like this” from Kodaline. I have been trying to show this to the lads, but haven’t succeeded yet :/ If you guys could help to promote my work maybe it will help me to achieve what I want. Of course only if you find it interesting anyway…”

“Not sure if you guys know this but Ireland got 3 new world champions last weekend at the world power lifting championships in Germany. Martina Higgins, Louise Nolan for back squat and Lisa duffy in the deadlift. These women all train at the gym I go to. It’s not often we get world champions in Ireland and I believe they deserve a bit of recognition. Here‘s the Facebook link to the gym Facebook page with some details…”
