So I haven’t used this blog in a while so I thought in lieu of updating my Letterboxd I’d put out a post about a funny pairing I saw at my local arts centre. Two low budget independently made Irish features about people exploring the effects of stories through film and how that descends them and their production further down strange rabbit holes (about as much as I can say without outright spoiling it). First up!
