New Projects

A friend of mine is making his way up in the world of blogging and with a little help from me he has created a great website to match his super Instagram page.

Way_of_Travel_by_Tom is a website dedicated to Luxury travel worldwide. Tom has spent the last couple of years travelling from city to city, country to country and even continent to continent staying in exclusive hotels, lavish spa's and taking photos of breathtaking views.

He has over 20,000 followers on Instagram with thousands of people liking and sharing his fabulous travel photos.

Tomorrow, EMBR productions will be filming an exclusive interview with Way_of_Travel_by_Tom's creator Tom C. We are super excited about it, and so is Tom.

Film Review of 'The Stag' 2014.

Well it wouldn't be like me to do film reviews, but I'm not doing much else media related in my life right now so why not....? PLUS - I thought the film was brilliant and if that's not reason enough, then I don't know what is.

So -

The Stag.
Directed by: John Butler
Written by: John Butler & Peter McDonald

Summary of Plot: (no spoilers though)
Fionain is not your typical groom to be; deeply involved in every intricate detail of the wedding plans and out-rightly opposed to the very idea of a Stag Do! However his group of friends persuade him, under duress from the Bride to Be, to take him away for his Bachelor Party. The 1hr and 30mins that ensue, capture all the craziness and absurdities you would expect from a typical Irish 'Lads weekend' in the arsehole of no-where!

My thoughts on the film:
First and foremost - I thought the filmography was expertly done. It portrayed Ireland very well, and had a hint of 'Notting Hill', 'Love Actually' and 'Bridget Jones' about it in the first 20mins. - and that's literally the best way I could find to describe that thought! (psst - it's a good thing)

The scripting was a little laboured and cringey at parts, giving me the feeling of trying to create the illusion of a conversation rather than just have the conversation -  but there were some lines that I still laugh at now week's later that were pure golden!

The plot was so simple and yet led to some very funny twists and character situations - thus proving the point our lectures used to drive home - over complicated plots = BLAH BLAH BLAH for the audience. Keep it simple... and The Stag is an excellent example of that.


Overall I really enjoyed the film. The photography, the soundtrack, the cast, the script etc.
Very very well done to all involved.

I left the cinema feeling very proud of how far our Irish Film Production has come... and only like 10% resentful that it's such a hard industry to break into.

Maybe 15%...

But who's counting?

Would I recommend my friend's to go see this film? - YES!!!


That's all from me folks,

Night!

Progress Report 2014

Well, unfortunately I have yet to be discovered as the next best Producer in Ireland. It seems the #JobsFairy is a bit off with me.
What have I been up to? Well I have been working away as Reception Supervisor in a Spa in the 5* Powerscourt Hotel.... Not exactly the best use for my BA in Media Studies but sure...
I was reminded a week or so ago of this blog - this long forgotten e-journal where I came to pour out my creativity and passion not so long ago - GOD I'M REALLY STARTING TO SOUND LIKE I'M BEGINNING MY (Somewhat depressing) MEMOIRS!!
Plain and simple - I have been way to busy working for the man to be thinking about Media and the lovely creative life I once led.
They were admittedly much happier days - I flicked back through my 'Media Bible' and read over a few of my old stories and plans... I had such a huge flair and great passion for it. Nothing like a crap economy to quash dreams like that eh?
Well in progression news - as per the title of this piece, I have submitted my Visa Application for Canada and am currently drudging through the bureaucracy of it all.
In my little head, I see myself arriving in Vancouver, someone catching me at the Airport and offering me a contract in Lionsgate studios.... PFFT as if!! But my God have they some amount of jobs over there!
I can only live in hope at this stage. God knows if I stay here I'll be a receptionist for the rest of my life, listening to people complain that their Latte's are not Skinny, or their robes are wet from the pool..... How do you say I DON'T CARE in 5 star?

If there's one good thing I can take from this job, it's the absolute multiplicity of stories, experience with guests and ideas I now have to create pages and pages worth of GOLD! (all within the guidelines of the data protection act of course ;) )

Alls I can say is you won't be seeing EMBR productions on the Credit strip of any film or tv show for a while... try not to miss me too much my beloved fan.... s!

Warmest regards to you all- keep it ham and cheesy!,
