aaaaaaaaand, thats a wrap!

That was a loooong long three days.

Broken up with a night shoot made it drag, but today we had it wrapped in a few hours.

Seventy eight slates in pretty much two and a half long days.

Not bad for a zero budget indie film production.

I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank each and every person involved in the realization of this script into a film for their commitment, expertise and above all, hard graft!

I am humbled and blown away simultaneously buy your generosity and team spirit and belief in the project.

From the actors for making my creations a reality to the tenants of the house we were shooting in, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Here are some Polaroid's from the shoot, its all I have right now till I get the productions stills.

Man, we had fun!

There's Tom O'Leary who plays Marty, if you watch Fair City you probably know him as the doctor, but I think its about time the world saw his comic acting abilities. I've seen him on stage a few times and I think he's a great comic actor. Tom is also co-producer on this short. (We also made Shut The Fuck Up Together). Thanks dude, best of luck in New York!

Steve Wilson who plays Marty's brother Lou also came on as co-producer at the last minute and really rattled our cages. We only had a short window of opportunity between Tom finishing up in Fair City and him emigration to the U.S. and A. Inviting Steve on board was the shot in the arm we needed to get this baby shot. And it just so happens that Steve is an excellent comic actor to boot. Talk about striking gold. Thanks Steve!

I saw Ross co-star with Steve in Mike Poblete's New York Monologues the week before last. He is a very talented young actor and was invited on board to play essentially a cameo role. The part was so small that I didn't think it was even worth casting, it was a nothing role, I was even thinking of doing it myself for the craic. I am so glad we went with Ross, even though it was such a small part, he owned it and he was absolutely brilliant. I'll never think a small part is not worth investing in ever again! Thanks Ross!

Sorry for (no) photo of Fiona, line-producer for our shoot. A consummate professional and somehow managed to make sense of my rambling notes and extensive and unrealistic shot list and drew up an achievable shooting schedule and made sure we got the job done in the three days allowed and was never afraid to run around getting stuff done. Thank you very much Fiona!

Sarah who did make up and hair did a fantastic job keeping everything consistent and looking good and even traveled all the way from Kerry to do the gig. Now thats pretty awesome. Also big thanks to Gwen for designing the make-up! Thanks Gwen and Sarah!

Neil. Quiet, methodical, always scribbling notes. Total pro. Thats the look of fear in my face knowing how much notes I will have at my disposal. Brilliant stuff. Cheers duder!

I couldn't have done this without such an amazing crew, but my hats off to Eva for having an eye for the tiniest details in the script and on set, I would have been lost had she not been there. She had my back and thats exactly what a director needs. A true superwoman! Thanks Eva!

Arthur was always my first choice to shoot this picture, even back in the days when the original version of this script was almost funded and to be shot on film. How lucky I was when he not only was available to shoot at such short notice that he was willing to do it to without even seeing the new script. He's a patient, patient man with a great eye for lighting, a good listener and a great collaborative filmmaker. Arthur, you rule. Thanks man!

Me... Me, I'm just a prick with a penchant for toilet humor who misses his wife and kid.

Now to sleep, perchance to dream.
