Yes, we don't shield our children from the real world - we tell it like it is. So does writer/director Ci
arán Foy, which is why we like him, and he can’t do no wrong at the moment. Not only was his short The Faeries Of Blackheath Woods nominated for Best Short at the recent IFTA awards, picked up Best Irish Short at the Diversions Festival in Temple Bar, the Cork Film Festival and the Kerry International Festival, it's also scooped Best Horror at the Melbourne Independent Filmmakers Festival.
What's the skinny?
A dark, stylish film, the plot sees young Melissa (Katie Keogh, above) who, despite the warnings of her mother, takes a trip into the foreboding woods of Blackheath.
Produced by Once Off Productions, we here at TToH hope this isn’t a ‘once off’. Did you see what we did there? Ha? Did ya? We hope to have a non-exclusive but free posting of the short in December along with a Q&A with director Ciarán. Jealous much?

Shouldn't these people hook up the Shrooms folk and run a double bill?
It'd be a good idea alright. Buena Vista Ireland sometimes show Irish shorts before their Irish features but they didn't do it for Shrooms. Maybe we can start a campaign! Who's with us?
Let's start a campaign to change that photo. Boo-urns.
It was the only decent photo in TToH's history. What are ya gonna do?
