Well it’s October already, and the year is just steam rolling ahead with me pulled along behind it!
Teecar Productions, which consists of myself and my good friend Linda Teehan, are making headway on some exciting comedy scripts. Although I’ve always had a love for drama, I have to say, writing and acting comedy feels natural and compliments my own personality too. We’ve some great sketches outlined so far, and with regular writing days scheduled we’re moving quickly, and thankfully are finding interested directors popping up all the time 
I’m filming a short with Redline Productions towards the end of the month. Daniel Corcoran is directing which is great, I like his past work, and I’m looking forward to being feisty on camera for that!
I also had a couple of days on a show for the Dublin Fringe Festival. It wasn’t acting per-say, but the show was an artistic take on a fashion show, involving strong movement, visual and musical input. It’s always fun to get involved and try something different and I had a great time on the show for a couple of days.
Other then that, between working on a pilot, shooting a TV advert, casting for a male lead to play opposite me in another short, and my regular voice work for RTE, I’ve been keeping the cogs in motion and the cobwebs at bay.
Now all I’ve to think of is what to dress up as for Halloween!
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.
