Local Writer/Director Orlagh Heverin, a native of Castlebar, along with producer Paddy O'Connor of Galway, were delighted to receive an RTE/Galway Film Centre Short Script Award for their short script Losing Memories.  The script is based on the fragmented memories of an older lady.  This award will allow them to make their short film, which will be a 10 minute piece shot in Castlebar and Louisburg over five days in the summer.  The award allows the team access to Galway Film Centre equipment, they have  a very experienced crew making the film, including cinematographer Tim Fleming who shot the award winning Once, which received an oscar for best song. 

The award allows the team a budget to make the film, however these short films are traditionally made on the good will of cast and crew as it is an expensive medium.  Orlagh will be looking to local businesses who would be willing to help with this project, she will need accommodation and catering for crew and actors approx.  Any local business who would be willing to support Orlagh in her endeavours can contact her at losingmemories@gmail.com  Of course any support will be credited at the end of the film. As part of the award the final film will be shown on RTE and Orlagh plans on entering the film to all the film festivals when completed.
