The year is fast drawing to a close, and that means only one thing – the deadline for Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year 2023 (January 20) is getting ever closer! ⏰
If you’re struggling for inspiration, don’t fret! Back in 2020, Cal O’Driscoll shared his thoughts on ‘Making A Great Film With What’s Around You’ when stuck in a rut 🤔
Cal went on to win IYFY that year with his film ‘Pirates’, so his advice is definitely worth taking! 🍿
