The Last Roll
Evan is a thirty-something actor who's on the verge of abandoning his dreams of stardom when he lands the lead role in a new sci-fi film. The only problem is it's an unpaid role. And the film's director is obsessed with tits. And the film itself will probably be a pile of shite. And Evan is still in love with an ex-girlfriend who left him years before. Other than that, though, things are looking up.
Directed, Produced and Written by Dáire McNabb

Untold Secrets recounts her often brutal and abusive treatment at the hands of her foster family and reveals never seen before interviews with fellow survivors. Although Silke is now deceased the documentary gives a posthumous voice to Anne and possibly some closure to her family.
