Had a small article on our Film Board's latest shenanigans! Seems forgotten (but talented) director Damien O'Donnell has received some kind of funding for a new short film called You. The issue is that the award is supposed to be for new filmmakers and not for people who were doing well back in 1999! O'Donnell is exactly the kind of filmmaker the Board supports. Commercially successful but too normal to make anything of interest! So there you go future Irish directors - apply to our Film Board for funding under this scene for new talent and then see them give the award away to a guy whose career has dried up and needs to start again with some crap short! I'm off to Paddy Power's tomorrow to bet on Kirsten Sheridan receiving next year's award under this scheme!
