Bilingual broadcaster (and ‘sheet favourite) Laura Gaynor inspects the accommodation at Jacobs Inn, Dublin.
Ireland’s first pod hostel.
No overnight guests.
Pernicio.
The brilliant, award-laden, short movie written and directed by Dave Fox and produced by beloved Broadsheet chum Laura Gaynor (top left at the Royal Television Society Awards with Pernicio director of photography Alfie Hollingsworth).
Available NOW to watch online for the first time!
Pernicio tells the story of a young man who explores his attitude towards life and death when his suicide plans are interrupted.
Dave writes;
I wanted to take a fresh approach to the overused theme of suicide, whilst also painting a picture of a potential futuristic Ireland if we don’t solve our mental health problems
Pernicio won ‘Best Drama’ at the Royal Television Society Student Awards, the ‘Producers Award’ at the Emerging Directors Awards in Dublin and ‘Best Student Film’ at the Richard Harris Film Festival and Underground Cinema Awards in Ireland.
AND It made the Official selection of the Newport Beach Film Festival in California and the Cork Film Festival and also screened at the Puerta Valetta FIlm Festival in Mexico last night with Spanish subtitles.
Laura writes:
I just want to say a big big thanks to the ‘sheet for giving us such a platform while we were making this short. We really enjoyed making it and hope you get a chance to watch. Let us know what you think!
Reviews welcome below.

On Tuesday night, Pernicio, a film Laura produced and Dave Fox directed, won Best Drama at the Royal Television Society student awards.
And last night , at the Young Directors Awards, Laura was named Producer Of The Year.
In fairness.
And RTÉ turned her down.
Good times.
