Brief non-Update

Had a good few emails this week as to where the film is / can be seen / bought etc etc  We have some final applications going on where we might get funding to do more otherwise we will go ahead and release it on several platforms.  The final decision eitherway will be end of June.  Thanks for everyones interest and patience

Film Ireland Review

Film Ireland wrote a review of our premiere screening which was nice of them.  Better yet it’s a good one which always helps   You can find a link to the article on their site here

JDIFF Premiere

We premiered the film 19.02.12 at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.  We had a sold out screening of 350+ at Screen 9 in Cineworld.  There was a great atmosphere and it was mind blowing to see the film on such a huge screen.  The crowd really enjoyed it and there was skaters of all generations there and importantly many non skaters.  Afterwards the festival had arranged a Q+A with Joel Conroy (Dir of surf movie ‘Waveriders’ amongst other things).  Very nice guy and we had some great discussions afterward.  Major thanks to JDIFF, Philip Kelly, Liam Ryan and of course Grainne Humphries

Alex Moul on his trips to Dublin

“I remember everyone was really welcoming. Meeting up at Clives shop and talking to all the locals and then we all went street skating. No “get in the car and lets drive to a spot” just it’s this way and roll. A massive group just hitting up whatever was in our path, really fun. Then the Top Hat was mental. Just looked like a big hall that someone had taken over and put loads of ramps and skate obstacles in. Like a skate park on the dance floor haha, good stuff. Mostly i remember everyone just had mad passion for skating and really lived it, young or old, its a long time ago i was over but thanks to everyone who looked after us, epic times”.
