As the title suggests, this is the last week of uni before 3 weeks Easter break. I cannot wait to be off for a while and actually get some proper work done. I will be organising the last 6 weeks of The Culture Show before Queen's Radio breaks for Summer. Sorting out some sort of Summer work wether it be enjoyable or simply a way to pay the bills - who knows. Before I can do any of this I have exams, essay's, presentations and a minor detail of directing a play.
This week kicks off Rough Cuts at Queens University. I have directed a play called Passing Places. I've been lucky enough to work a very talented cast and been supported by such an amazing Assistant Director (Sarah King). A big thanks to Joe Rea and Martin Lynch from GBL Productions in Belfast for allowing me to borrow their stage car for the performance. A random request for the stage but finally got hold of the car. Massive thanks to all who have been involved in the production and their help.
Passing Places is in the Brian Friel Theatre (QFT).
On Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th April
Time: 7:30pm

Goodbye Belfast Film Festival '11. What a festival it's been this year. Having the opportunity to interview such cinema legends including Terry George, Peter Mullan & Brendan Fraser has been amazing. Meeting the hottest new talent including Martin McCann, Nick Hamm, Joe Echo & Nadia Tass has been a breath of fresh air.
Having the opportunity to work closely with Belfast Film Festival and Inform Communications has been an absolute joy.

Good luck with the closing night of Behold The Lamb.
