Trainees shooting the movie at Kerry ETB Training Centre this week.
TRALEE is getting a sprinkling of movie magic this week as Brian Nolan and his team of Broadcast Production trainees begin work with an impressive group of industry professionals to make their first ever ‘Mentored Movie’ in Kerry’s ETB’s National Digital Skills Centre in the Monavalley Campus.
It all takes place in the environs of the Monavalley campus until Saturday. A new concept for the training centre, the mentored movie brings seasoned industry professionals together with Film/TV trainees to collaborate on filming a feature – in this case – a comedy series entitled ‘TX’.
‘Cheers’, ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘3rd Rock From The Sun’ staff writer Andy Cowan was involved in mentoring the writing group and developed the initial storyline.
