In the third year of the Rathmullan Film Challenge, amateur filmmakers were given 15 pieces of film from the UTV Archive and creative and editing training from Póca Productions. The task was to create a completely new piece, telling an original story – this year, as Gaelige.
Martin McGinley has create a hilarious reflection on the technology industry of Donegal.
Martin says: There was a great selection of short films which offered lots of options in terms of approach. I chose to create a 'mock serious' news report which allowed the use of clips from eleven of the films. All the clips used were pretty short and I decided to try and feature sound clips as well. It was a challenge in terms of the voiceover in Irish and I may have to re-visit that!
We disagree and think Martin did a great job and produced a very funny film.
