Many congratulations to BCFE graduate (Traditional Music; Music Production; Media Production Management Degree) and local Ballyfermot woman Tania Notaro who recently won The Ronan Phelan Scriptwriting Award At IndieCork Festival for her script Boxed.

The film is a gripping tale about the trappings and dangers of Social Media and how it might affect all of our lives in the future.

“IndieCork Festival, the festival of independent film in Ireland, rounded off another successful year as it came to a close on Sunday night – having broken its box office and attendance record”. It is pegged as Ireland’s largest festival for short films. Many filmmakers made their way to Cork for the festival to represent their films and participate in some of the industry training events (From the Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTN) website).
