Young Irish Film Makers

"Please Say Something"

Two Irish animation short films Old Fangs and Please Say Something have been selected for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Both Films have Kilkenny connections.

Old Fangs is directed by Adrien Merigeau and produced by Carton Saloon (The Secret of Kells). Cartoon Saloon was created by former members of Young Irish Film Makers and, of course, the famous producer with the hat, Paul Young. The film was produced under the Frameworks short animation scheme funded by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB), the Arts Council and RTÉ.

Please Say Something is directed by former YIFM member, David O’Reilly, and won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlinale Film Festival earlier this year. The film is also set for theatrical release in Germany next year.
