Congratulations to the Film studies class of 2023, their film, Breaking Brad, has been selected for screening at the 2023 First Cut! Youth Film Festival.        

 The film will screen on the morning of Thursday March 9th as part of our Schools & Youth Groups programme. This screening will take place at 10.30am at The Mall Arts Centre in Youghal, Co.Cork.  

 Members of the Breaking Brad team have also been invited to a panel discussion after the screening to share some of their experiences of making the film with the audience.  

This is the second year in a row that film studies students have been selected for this great honour. This year’s film is especially exciting as it was shot in school and also in parts of Killarney. Keep a close eye out for two cameos from our own Mr. Garvey and Mr. Murray. 

Breaking Brad crew included: Theo Scully, John Cashman, Adam Ryan, Cian Timoney, Cormac Geary, Dylan Westly and Eoghan O’ Donovan.
