Colin Carroll


I am an Irish filmmaker based in Lisbon, Portugal. This particular biographical short film had its Official World Premier at the American Documentary Film Festival on 1 April, 2012. My story-telling interests cover books, short stories, short films and indeed feature films. I have a few short films I would like to make if and when financing becomes available. I also have a monster project, a feature film, I am trying to get off the ground.

Synopsis:
Cork, December 2010. With the absence of prospects at home, the people of Ireland evacuate the country at the speed of refugees in a war-torn country. The economic meltdown is the cause of the exodus while the Irish government's surreal answer is to hand out free cheese. With cheese on his mind, an Irish lawyer has his fill, and on the eve of the draconian budget and in the coldest of winters, quits his job, jumps on his motorbike, and seeks a better life abroad. A lone traveler, he has nobody to empathize with and so strikes up a dialogue with the voices in his head as he hurtles across Europe. As a modern-day tongue-in-cheek take on Brian Friel's 1964 play, "Philadelphia, Here I Come! this mockumentary reflects the strange reality of the latest wave of Irish emigration. The film is largely self-shot using a motorbike head camera and a small HD JVC.
