CAMERAS ROLL ON SUMMER OF SORROW
Cameras are rolling on Ballinran’s latest docudrama project – Summer of Sorrow – the tragic and all-but-forgotten tale of how the Irish Potato Famine washed upon the shores of North America with catastrophic results in the summer of 1847.
Co-produced with Dublin-based Tile Films, Summer of Sorrow has been commissioned by History Television Canada and RTE Ireland with delivery scheduled for early 2008. Shot in HD, the project will include two one-hours for television and a 90 minute feature length version. Click here for more information.
BALLINRAN UNVEILS BUSINESS WITHOUT BORDERS
Ballinran has taken the wrappings off its latest multi-media project – Business Without Borders – a documentary series backed by on-line content as well as seminars and events focused on international trade and commerce.
