Cork short film festival dares to be different
The event was set up by filmmaker, Darren O’Mahony, who was frustrated by film festivals.
“I wanted to do something a little bit different. This festival is more film-maker-oriented. Often, you can study film for three or four years in college, where you’ll be taught how to make films. But you’re never really told how to get your films screened. When I was starting out, I had no clue who to talk to. Big festivals can be a bit intimidating. They get thousands of entries, but you never hear back whether you’ve got in or not.”
