Ken Wardrop is a bit of a demi god to me. When I was in college making my own documentary shorts, his style and filmic approach were a major influence. Simply structured, his short documentaries sing with Irish identity and Wardrop’s own creative charisma. His work, I believe has taught me two important lessons in […]
This is one of my favorite music videos. Perhaps I should really say short film, as that’s what it is in truth. In this creation, the stunning Del Ray teams up with Anthony Mandler. Now you may not know his name but I bet you know his work. He is a frequent A-List collaborator having […]
I’ve never really taught about commercials. I always considered them not part of the film industry, somehow different, somehow apart. That’s been a fairly silly mistake on my behalf.

Formally known as the Kurz Film Agentur Hamburg, the agency devotes itself to promoting public knowledge about short films; but more importantly, it sells and distributes short films to German cinemas and the global markets. As a lover of short film, I have often […]
With the popularity of illegal steaming and downloading it can be quite refreshing to watch something legally. And being an avid short film lover, shorts are what I like to watch. If you’re like me, trying to get into short film or a filmmaker scouting what’s out there, here follows a list of some of […]
David Dean Burkhart’s videos aren’t official. They aren’t green-lighted by any record company or even the artist. I guess he could be considered a pirate music video maker. But that doesn’t seem quite fair, as his work is creative, visually engaging and completely original. As a filmmaker he has gained a major reputation and following […]
I know this is a bit of a change from the normal material I post. But I feel it’s rather important, especially for my local filmmakers, to know about this. So unless your a film maker in the South of Ireland feel free to side step this one. The Cork film community has taken a […]
