The Beagles We Cut Corners – Mammals
An existential hound-packed video made by Annie Atkins of Grand Budapaest Hotel (2013) artwork fame.
Sez Annie:
“I was interested to find out that Conall and John [of We Cut Corners] are both school teachers so I set the video in a special classroom for dogs, and a beagle from Bray called Sonny played most of the canine characters – he was a pretty versatile lead.”

If ear lobes could talk.
They’d probably ask for dainty vermeil gold hoop earrings.

Anything good in Vice?
“We collect the food here and then distribute it via local charities to people in need. We also set up community food banks where people get a voucher that entitles them to a week of food…Right now, demand is so high we can’t keep up. People are dropping in all the time asking for emergency parcels to get them through the next few days. I’ve been working with Crosscare for 25 years and I have never seen things so bad. People are more desperate than ever.”

Update:
Russell Brand and Right2Water’s Brendan Ogle have the chat.
Yikes.
The life of ferocious, flame-haired Irish Prince Red Hugh O’Donnell is explored this evening by Neil Delamere in episode two of Holding Out For A Hero.
Including a re-enactment of Hugh’s pantaloon-clad escape from Dublin Castle in January 1592.
Hugh was to later lose two toes on the Nitelink his way to Wicklow.
Good times.
Holding Out For A Hero tonight at 9pm on RTÉ2.
Thanks Sarah Neville
