		<description><![CDATA[Beatrice Ní Bhroin, London

Tuesday 6th July saw the first of the volunteer meetings where the main agenda was to relay the pricing and programme plans to members to ensure we’re on track for an attractive festival. New expertise joining the team in the final months means there is a continued vibrancy in our ideas and we hope to neglect nothing in our planning.

Businesses local to ‘The Lost Theatre’ are being informed of the coming festival as we hope to encourage their participation, whether as a recommended place to eat between sessions or to mingle post films while residents from the area will also be offered a discount.

With the core of the films having passed through my hands at some point I am confident in the quality of content we’ll be able to share over the four days of the festival. Categorising sessions is next step and with the help of our viewing panellists I have been working with extensive feedback.

Next week’s meetings are dedicated to the festival’s marketing before the launch of tickets and events. It’s important for us to propagate the ethos of FD4W so that workshops and networking during the festival are productive. Celebrating women’s talent for story telling is only the first step as we aspire to establish a space to cultivate female talent in film beyond what little we’ve claimed thus far!

		<description><![CDATA[
In early June I did the excellent and intense weekend directing course with Ruth Torjussen which was held in Cardiff. The question always arises then-  how do you build on this kind of experience while it is fresh in your mind? Well, I had already  signed up for a Mini Masterpieces  summer program at Bristol University,   not quite knowing what to expect.  In short order I pitched a film, got it accepted and found myself directing this new short only a few streets away from where we had enjoyed the directing course just two weeks earlier !

Within a week we had shot, edited and done the post production necessary on  Infill, Noggin, Wattle &#038; Daub, a little fiction (barely)  piece about an old courtyard on the brink of being re-developed…for something. But what? My film explored the visions of three pairs of interested parties and it premiered to an Open Day audience at the university just a few days after we shot it.

When gathering the crew, I was able to secure one of my fellow FD4W alumna, Anne-Marie Margerison as Director of Photography. We had a chance to work with a professional sound man, producer and editor on this project and  found the my FD4W course had prepared me better for this than I could have anticipated too.

The directing course was just so valuable in  giving me a bit of experience and confidence about what to watch out for and how to keep things moving on set.   Well, so much more too really. Three days can certainly make a difference!  It was a real pleasure to put the skills we had been taught to use so quickly.

Now it is less than a month since I took the course and aside from enjoying  the final edit Lynnwen Brown did on the little piece we all shared direction on that weekend, I have a new film done and dusted and entered for two festivals ( Encounters  in Bristol and Exposures in Manchester). I plan to help others met through the course on a couple of their projects in the near future and am in planning for a more ambitious project of my own to start later this summer!
