A team of students from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) got a real taste of the Oscars at The Digital Hub last night, when their film, ‘On The Cutting Room Floor’, swept the board at the DARE2BDRINKAWARE Awards Ceremony.
Gobias Productions – made up of five students from IADT – won all of the judges’ categories in the student film competition, beating rival entries from colleges throughout Ireland and scooping a total of €4,000 in prize money.
DARE2BDRINKAWARE is a competition for third level students, sponsored by drinkaware.ie and organised by the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA). The aim of the competition is to highlight young people’s attitudes to alcohol: through the use of digital media, students tell their stories and inform their peers about responsible drinking.
Award-winning Irish director Lenny Abrahamson – who was the special guest at the event praised the quality of entrants in the competition. “I was really surprised – in a very good way – by the quality not only of the winning film, but also of the runners-up,” he said. “It’s great to see emerging talent being rewarded in such a public way.”
The IADT team behind ‘On The Cutting Room Floor’ is made up of: Evan Barry from Rathgar, Dublin; Richard Boland from The Curragh in Kildare; Simon Doyle from Knocklyon, Dublin; Kevin Herlihy from Tralee, and Ian Hunt Duffy from Blackrock, Co. Louth.
