My 2022 Resolutions
Our series of cheatsheets on aping a director's style continues with the five things you need to know to make films like Sofia Coppola. From her use of colour to her tendency to trap her characters behind glass, we present the essential elements of the Virgin Suicides film-maker.
Dunree is a short poetic documentary, about a small abandoned house near the sea, in Co. Donegal, Ireland.
The film examines the strange combination of decay and preservation of the objects inside. They give clues about the lives of the people who once lived there. The house is a time capsule of memories, slowly rotting as the world continues around it.
Shot on Canon 7D, with Canon 50mm f/1.4 and 17-55mm f/2.8
Edited in Final Cut Pro 7

After years of talking about it, Ricardo Deakin and myself finally started a film podcast in November 2016. It's a weekly show where we take turns to recommend a film that the other has not seen, we watch it and then chat about it for an hour. The show is broadcast on Dublin Digital Radio every Monday at 11-12am. Check us out!
We made a magazine to celebrate our 100th episode.
