“A new web series that some friends of mine have made. It’s the proper angry satire that Ireland needs! And in light of Joan Burton’s phone comment, it’s never been more relevant. So much work has gone into it, I’d love to see it on broadsheet. New episodes every Thursday!”
Starring Giles Brody, Charlene Craig and Tara Flynn. Director of Photography James McDonnell; Assistant Director: Eoin Duggan; Production Design: Donnacha O’Brien; Written and directed by Diarmuid O’Brien.
Tardigrade at the Samuel Beckett Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin.

Eleanor Creighton writes:
“I’m working with choreographer Philip Connaughton on his show TARDIGRADE, which runs at Tiger Dublin Fringe from 9-13 September.
TARDIGRADE is a kaleidoscopic feast of raucous dance, luscious live music for choir, string quartet and piano, video projection, outlandish costumes… and a virtual dog.
It’s inspired by the microscopic world of tardigrades (which are extremely hardy little creatures that live in almost every habitat on earth — they’ve even been sent into the vaccum of space – and survived), along with the wild colour of [Hieronymus] Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights and Star Wars. It creates sensory overload — so you have to decide whether to focus on some tiny details or whether to let the madness whisk you away.”

‘This is a show about super-peasants from the west, suburbia in the ’80s, state-making, sound, walking in single file, chewing seaweed, hauling sand, squatting, and smoking cigarettes…'(the blurb from Eating Seals And Seagulls’ Eggs).
Yikés.
Niall writes:
“This is Caitriona Ni Mhurchu’s theatre piece called Eating Seals and Seagulls’ Eggs. Written, directed and performed by herself, with help from a few pals including acclaimed visual artist Adam Gibney, this will not be how you remembered Irish class back in the day. It runs from Sun 14 to Sat 20 September [at the Cube, Project Arts Centre] at the Tiger Dublin Fringe….”
An important short film From Thinking Cog Productions.
Emmet O’Brien writes:
“I’m a filmmaker from Cork. I was a producer and writer on the Hozier, Take me to Church video. I have just released my first short film on-line. It is heavy on wordplay and grammatical terms. But I hope it’s more fun than that sounds…Please share it if you’re so inclined….”

Irish women in recovery.
James Keating writes:
“I made a short documentary about Daisyhouse Housing Association, which has three women telling their stories of being homeless through addiction or prostitution, and their recovery. I thought it might be of interest to your readers…”
It’s an anti-social network.
Tom Rowley writes:
“A short sketch The Startup, by two Dublin filmmakers – myself and Emma Keaveney – which screened at the Firehouse Film Contest in Filmbase last week. It’s a funny (we hope) look at the Startup world by imagining a whole other life for Mark Zuckerberg after meeting an overly enthusiastic friend, made in the style of The Social Network (2010).”
Always online?
David C Lynch (yes) writes:
“You were kind enough to post my previous two shorts, Stay and Liquid Nation, last year My third short film, After, was shot with a similar micro budget as the previous two and explores the significance of social media’s integration on our modern culture. How it has become embedded into who we are and how we interact with one another. It may have even created an immortality by-product. I’m awaiting selection results from numerous festivals but I’d love to get it seen online…”
FIGHT!
An Irish made smash ’em up, you say?
That YOU can help fund.
Paul writes:
“Franknjohn is a new game being developed by a group of Irish lads and it’s on Kickstarter now. It looks lovely, I’d love to see them succeed….”
