We’re now over halfway through our film project. Things are going amazingly well, full of fun and inspiration. Have you come to visit us? Seen the pics? No?

Here’s where you can see us over the next few weeks doing out public edits in the afternoons (don’t forget you can always follow our progress on the map):

Thursday 7th June: Market Square, Dungannon
Friday 8th June: The Mall, Armagh
Saturday 9th June: Guildhall Square, Derry

Come along for a chat, we are all friendly folks.

Finally, we haven’t managed to get our films for Ballycastle and Downpatrick online yet: we’ll be doing this just as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.
