Hey Everyone,
Recently I mentioned that I’ve been working on a sci-fi short film “Effigy Road”. Well, the director of the film, Rob Kelly, has put together a teaser trailer from the footage taken so far. This project is still in production with some ongoing filming taking place in Carlow town which should be wrapped over the next couple of weeks.
But for now thanks for reading and please enjoy this teaser:
Just over a year ago I worked on a short film, “Caliber”, directed by Rob Kelly. So when Rob got in touch and asked if I’d be involved on his new project “Effigy Road” I was happy to jump on board. “Effigy Road” is a sci-fi piece with an end of world theme running throughout.
Filming is taking place in various locations throughout Carlow town, and the Ardmore Studios C stage and green screen facilities will be used for the big crowd scene and replication of an “alien arena”. We’ve completed 3 weekends throughout June in Carlow town and have still a couple of weekends to go to finish the project. Next weekend will involve some stunt work which I’m really looking forward to.
Thanks for reading, Sarah

It’s Galway Film Fleadh time of year again. The festival kicks off tomorrow and runs for 6 days until Sunday 11th.
Covies, the web series in which I played lead female Bridie O’Malley, has undergone a face lift and been edited by director Len Collin into a feature film which has been accepted by Galway Fleadh as one of their wild card screenings. Covies is due to air in the Cinemobile, which will be parked outside the Town Hall Theatre, on Thursday 8th at 10am. Tickets are an extremely reasonably priced €3 so if your in the vicinity please do drop in and give it a view.
I am still hopeful I will make it to the festival myself at some stage during the week.
Enjoy!
Sarah
I have been very quiet on the blog front over the past few weeks so this is a short update of a couple of smaller projects I was involved with in June.
I accepted a role offered by the grad students in IADT Dun Laoghaire leading to an enjoyable and eventful week working with them on “Escape”. The piece was very visual and we had some interesting set ups, including a night shoot in a forest. Broken mirrors were suspended from the trees and reflecting light everywhere for part of a dream sequence.. It looked great on the night and I’m sure it’ll transfer well onto screen.
I also embarked on my first attempt at a short film of my own. An actor friend of mine, Linda Teehan, and I have been talking about putting something together ourselves for a little while now, so we bit the bullet and got down to business. We improvised some ideas together first of all, and although our ideas ranged from drama to black comedy, somehow a script for our 4 minute comedy short film evolved. Thankfully we were fortunate to enlist the help of Noel Brady of Phoenix Artz for camera and editing, and with him Ashleigh Ekins for sound. Our final input came from Dylan McDonough who played the role of the doctor for us. The concept was simple enough, so a short filming period and lightning quick editing from Noel meant our little short was packaged up and ready for festival submission within a matter of days. “Waiting Room” is the first production from TeeCarr Productions, we hope to get accepted into festivals and hopefully we’ll move on and film a few more little projects in the future.
That’s all for this little update… stay tuned as always for more information.
Sarah
