North Wicklow Filmmakers group going strong after a year’s work

-

No WiFi (North Wicklow Filmmakers) is celebratin­g its first anniversar­y.

The group is open to new members. Their short films are shown at Mermaid Arts Centre on the first Monday of each month.

Their work is also available to view online. The group was set up by Bray actor Brian Matthews Murphy one year ago as an outlet for local filmmakers and actors of all levels of experience, to collaborat­e on projects.

To date they have completed more than 20 projects involving over 60 people.

Their short films have been seen at film festivals such as The Berlin Flash Festival, Fastnet in Schull and March on Film in Dublin, where The Confession­al, directed by Shane Conaty and written by Conor Waldron recently won best screenplay.

Eagle eyed viewers have seen great local locations in their films, such as Dann’s Bar and The Hot Spot in Greystones, The Harbour Bar and The Esplanade Hotel in Bray, as well as all the great scenery that County Wicklow has to offer. New members are always welcome and they are always looking for new businesses to work with. ‘We are delighted to be partnered with The Mermaid theatre, Bray where you can watch our short films on the first Monday of each month or you can check out our YouTube channel North Wicklow Film Makers for our samples of our work, which is updated weekly’ said a spokesman.
