“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…”

“We are looking for your support to help us at this very trying time. We are an important part of the Irish economy, but at the moment our plight is being ignored. Because we don’t have the answers we need, some of us have been forced to return home, and many others have no idea what the future holds. We urgently need your support to get our voices heard. Please help us.”
