Catalyst Winners Announced

Back in the summer, The Film Board, TV 3, Fás, Broadcasting Commission Ireland and the Arts Council got together to launch The Catalystproject - a scheme aimed at a writing, directing, producing team that would be trained in the art of making a film with a very low budget (How low? Think vertically-challenged Lilliputians limbo dancing). The teams would then be sent to numerous seminars where the team would hone their skills and rewrite their script accordingly.
The winners have just been announced - Redux (PJ Dillon, Alex Jones, John Wallace), One Hundred Mornings (Conor Hagen and Louise Curran) and Eamonn (Margaret Corkery and Seamus Byrne) - and will receive €250,000 award to shoot their films. TToH wishes them the best of luck.

What a prize.

And cool blog, by the way. Found you via Sinead's place, in case you're keeping tabs on these things.
