Credits

The Projectionist (2016)
Film (short) by Missing Piece Studios Composer "The Projectionist" follows a cinema projectionist as he lives out his solitary life spying on audiences from his projector room. When he happens to bump into a girl who is a regular at the cinema it ignites a journey of intimate self discovery where the projectionist endeavors to win the respect of his peers, and the heart of the girl.
The Lighthouse Keepers (2012)
Film (short) by Aislinn Clarke Composer The Lighthouse Keepers is a silent, black and white short, shot as a 1920s style horror melodrama. It tells the dramatic story of a pair of lighthouse keepers, a father and son, who meet a sorry fate in isolation, while carrying out their duty. The Lighthouse Keepers was filmed on location in an historic lighthouse on a dramatically placed Northern Irish island. Using silent film techniques the story unfolds with minimal dialogue and makes use of expression, music, and inter titles to tell the story.
