Media School graduates hit Raindance
15 second film could lead to Cannes

Two graduates of the Media School, Andy Kinnear (left) & Céin McGillicuddy (right), are amongst the top five of the Nokia Shorts 2006 handset category.

Their film, 'The Tour of the House' was shot entirely on a mobile phone and will be shown throughout this year's Raindance Film Festival. As a result, they have been invited to the closing night where they could win an all expenses paid trip to Cannes next May.

Andy graduated from BA (Hons) Television Production in 2005, the same year Céin graduated from BA (Hons) Scriptwriting for Film and Television. Andy returned to The Media School as a demonstrator, whilst Céin stayed to complete the MA Television Production this year.

"It's great, I can't believe it", says Céin. "This makes it all worth while", adds Andy, who stars in the film, "I hurt my shoulder a bit in that last take, but if I'd known it would take us to Raindance, I'd have broken my arm!"
