Run by Innovate Limerick through Film in Limerick, Engine Shorts is a partnership between the Local Authorities in Clare, Tipperary and Limerick, and Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board.
The new scheme aims to inspire and support up-and-coming local writers, directors and producers to create inspiring, engaging world-class short films that resonate with a wide international audience.
Shortlisted teams will receive training over several months to develop their projects and up to 6 teams will be awarded production funding of up to €12,500 each to produce a short film. The first edition of the training scheme saw 6 short films produced that have since screened throughout Ireland and internationally including screenings in London, Berlin, New York, Barcelona, Lisbon, Newport Beach in California and Montevideo in Uruguay.
Don’t miss out, the deadline to apply to be a part of Engine Shorts 2 is Friday 16 December at 12noon. Details at the link below.
