Young filmmakers and actors from Killarney will feature on RTÉ 2 on Wednesday night.

Local talent was well represented at the Fresh Film Festival in Limerick on March 30.

Director Glen Bowler, in association with Killarney Camera Club, St Brendan’s College and West End House School of Arts presented his short movie ‘The Legend of Patrick Greenwood’ which featured local actors Mikie Galvin, Ellen O’Shea and Luke Courtney.

Rachel Griffin also showcased her short film ‘The Time I Spoke To The Sky’.

Both Killarney filmmakers are in line for Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year award and while the results are now known to participants, they remain a closely guarded secret until Wednesday night’s RTÉ broadcast.

“This festival received 1,000 entries and on the day 34 finalists were shown,” explained Glen’s father Brian.

“The event was recorded for TV. There is a strict media blackout on proceedings, however, it will be televised so tune in to find out how things went for these creative and brave Killarney locals.”

‘Ireland's Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards 2023’ will air at 7pm next Wednesday night when Stephen Byrne and Gemma Bradley host the 27th annual ceremony for young budding filmmakers between the ages of seven and 18.
