VIVA is available now.

VIVA is a short film set in the near future when the government has introduced a scheme that encourages people over 70 years old to 'opt out'. They do this to help with a climate collapse and aging population with no social safety net.

The film follows a couple on the eve of their 'departure' as they gather those closest for one last meal. This leads to frank discussions about life, age, care, the environment and an offensive card game.

Written and directed by Marie Clare Cushinan

Funded by Northern Ireland Screen and BFI

Changeling watch along!

Such an usual way of watching your film. But enjoyable! Lots of comments flooding. Some confused (we don't blame them) and some spot on about the real meaning behind the film.

*warning for spoilers and graphic images*

Now that Changeling has been out in the world for a couple of weeks we can safely share the making of a cornerstone of the film.
'The Baby'
Sculpted by the amazing Robin McFarland at D-Signs + Displays Ltd in Coalisland Co.Tyrone. Our Executive Producer Martin Ryan kindly put us in touch. I'd seen their large scale displays (from dinosaurs to trolls).
The quality of Robin's work is part of the reason we carried on even though Covid had knocked our production waaay of course.
