Of this teaser from director Ciarán Nugent, currently seeking your support on Fundit, Colmán Mac Séalaigh sez:
Big Time is a mockumentary focusing on the Garda Síochána (no doubt there is plenty of material out there at the moment to make this a success!) Here’s a video introducing the various characters.
Dublin-based filmmaking/screen-acting/training resource house The Factory, supported by the Irish Film Board, has just announced Cornerstones – a new micro-budget funding initiative whatsit.
Five successful applicant teams will EACH get €5,000, loan of equipment, access to facilities, mentoring and a screening of the completed film before an invited audience of film industry types.
Apply here (for €50).

Yesterday’s Irish Mail on Sunday on the latest controversy surrounding Health Minister Dr James Reilly’s funding priorities.
Dr Reilly granted €190,000 for new dementia services at a daycare centre in Clarecastle, Co.Clare – despite the same service being provided two miles away, in Ennis, and despite the fact the HSE was ‘strongly opposed’ to the move.
The centre is in the constituency of Dr Reilly’s fellow Fine Gael TD Joe Carey.
