Covid-19 is good for very little but it is encouraging makers to share their work in this virtual realm where most of us are now living our lives which is positive. Here is another short by the wonderful Chris O’Neill, programmer and film-maker. This is the second project that I collaborated with him on.
‘Decibel’ short film
Had so much fun on this shoot with the amazingly talented cast and crew. Director Phil Ronayne was an absolute pleasure to work with aswell as my great co-stars Mark McCabe and Emmet Byrne. Delighted to finally share it amidst the real sci-fi that is our current, collective existence. Hope you enjoy!

Graffiti present ‘Generation Revolution’ a new play by Raymond Scannell
Graffiti Theatre Company present: ‘Generation Revolution’, a new play by Raymond Scannell with Fiona Lucia McGarry as Eleanor directed by Emelie Fitzgibbon.
What is ‘a rebel’? What is a ‘rebel act’? And what happens to the children of the revolution, to those who inherit the legacy?
Eleanor is a rebel – against family, against school, society norms, against everything. Given a book written by the daughter of Terence MacSweeney, she sets off on a gothic quest for answers to questions.
Raymond Scannell’s exciting and provocative new play, Generation Revolution, is a quirky take on rebellion, inheritance and identity. It is where magic realism and history blend.
This exciting new production will be available to post-primary schools, youth theatres and members of the public from 21st November 2016 – 9th December 2016 and will be performed in Graffiti’s Theatre in Blackpool, Cork as follows:
Monday 21st November –Friday 9th December 10.00am & 2.00pm: School performances.
Thursday 24th November, 1st & 8th December 8.00pm: Youth Theatre and Public performances.
