If last night’s numbers are anything to go by then Spiderhole is going to be a box office hit.
Word got around that Pat O’Neill had agreed to show KMN members an untreated cut of his RED movie, Spiderhole, and the Tom Crean Center was packed to capacity… even Tom Lawlor managed to pull himself away from his hectic workload and show his face (great to see you again, Tom!!).
I was so looking forward to seeing this film and on behalf of the KMN I want to thank Pat for giving us the opportunity to see it; bearing in mind that this version is a first cut and needs a sound mix, score, colour grade, etc.
Pat’s passion, drive and ethos for filmmaking is infectious and one can’t help but be inspired by his efforts. Ever since he showed me around the set of Spiderhole I’ve been trying to pick my jaw off the floor, such was the magnitude of this production… his first feature! Even more impressive than the high-end production values of this movie was Pat’s wish to receive constructive criticism for the film and his willingness to listen to any suggestions or ideas which can help him improve his production.
Pat, you’re a rock star!
Most of the meeting was taken up with Spiderhole but we briefly discussed funding future workshops and some members seem to have very interesting projects in pre-production. Again, if you’re looking to promote your project and connect with other filmmakers then contact maurice@kerrymedianetwork.net and we’ll plug you on the blog.
Brain, Tom and I discussed travelling to Dingle to meet the Beehive Theater (probably next week)… and we also whispered about an exciting KMN short film that is in pre-production right now. Stay tuned to the blog to found out how you can get involved!
