		<description><![CDATA[By many accounts, it would appear that the old system is dead or at least in intensive care with an undertaker on call. &#8220;What system is that&#8221;, I hear you ask. We all know it so well, the filmmaker&#8217;s dream or fantasy.

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t seem that long ago the last time I came across a Sunday supplement asking &#8220;where has it all gone wrong for Irish film?&#8221; or in this case stating &#8220;we made fine films once&#8221; in the Sunday Times recently. While the statement has the hard core of truth about it, the article is a... <a href="http://www.afilmmakersjourney.com/564"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to an article in the Los Angeles Times recently, cinema attendance is significantly down. I believe the same is true for our domestic market. I live in Kilkenny, Ireland which is a town (a city by Royal Charter going way back let it be said) of about 25,000 people.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at that stage of development where you swing from &#8211; this is crap to this is brilliant. But I&#8217;ve learnt to live with that. I think that perpetual oscillation is not only healthy but unavoidable because at the stage of writing the first draft, it&#8217;s probably true.

		<description><![CDATA[I am always captivated by the success of micro budget films, particularly when they&#8217;re feature débuts and the latest in that pantheon is Gareth Edward&#8216;s Monsters. It comes in at an unbelievable $15,000, however when you watch the Blu-Ray extras, you realise that Edwards wrote, directed, DOP&#8217;d and created all 250 FX shots (with no green screen... <a href="http://www.afilmmakersjourney.com/monster-lessons"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve taken to watching films I&#8217;ve seen before, I know we all do that, but it&#8217;s interesting to see if they stand up many years after release. So last night I watched Martin Scorcese&#8217;s 1985 film &#8220;After Hours&#8221; with Griffin Dunn, Teri Garr, John Heard, Rosanna Arquette and Linda Fiorentino.

		<description><![CDATA[Having bought a DVD a couple of weeks back on a recommendation, I finally got a chance to watch it. It&#8217;s a French film called &#8220;The Beat that my Heart Skipped&#8221; directed by Jacques Audiard and released in 2005 (so this is not a review). It tells the story of a young man Tom (Romain... <a href="http://www.afilmmakersjourney.com/the-beat-that-my-heart-skipped"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>
