Our documentary film ‘140 Characters’ has been selected to screen in the IFI, Dublin on Sunday July 25th at 1pm.
The film was shot over the course of one week in Dublin City and captures real people from Dublin City talking about their lives.
Despite asking people of all ages the same question, each answer is different.

It makes us happy that our film ‘140 Characters’ has been chosen to open the Clones Film Festival Marquee at The Flat Lake Literary and Arts Festival 2010.
As long time admirers of the only Festival in Ireland to end it’s Saturday night programme with a ‘Disco dancing like your Mammy competition’, we are delighted to have work shown at the festival again this year. ‘140 Characters’ will be shown at 9pm on Friday June 4th. Here’s the preliminary programme that they say will ‘probably change due to unforeseen phreatomagmatic eruptions over Newbliss Aerodrome’. See you there.
‘The Liberties’ screens on RTÉ One tonight, Tuesday May 18th at 10.15pm, sandwiched neatly between Prime Time and The View.
‘The Liberties’ documentary (full 78 min version) can be purchased on DVD from: www.whereistheliberties.com
Our recent video project for Pobal is now on Vimeo. In making the film, we spoke to people of all ages and of varying backgrounds from across Ireland about their experiences of ‘lifelong learning’. Thanks to everyone who talked to us. We greatly enjoyed listening to your stories.

South Dublin Libraries were recently nominated as finalists in the 4th European eGovernment Awards 2009. The nomination came for their highly innovative Digital Book Service, the first such service in Ireland and one of very few worldwide. South Dublin Libraries chose to work with Areaman Productions to produce video content that would showcase the service. We produced, directed, shot & edited the video, which was recently screened in Malmo at the European eGovernment Awards.

Digital Cafe was an initiative of IO advertising – a free one-day event aimed at helping small businesses get the most out of digital marketing.
Aimed at small business owners, entrepreneurs, or people with a bright business idea who wanted to know how to creatively and effectively use digital channels to help get a message out there, the Digital Café was a chance to have a coffee, a nice bun and talk to some people who could advise visitors.
Here is a short video that we made about the event:
io provided creative advertising and marketing ideas and plans using digital channels. Return2Sender gave advice on effective mobile marketing. Electric Media were on hand discuss innovative ways to deploy your message. Eircom Mobile gave technical information on how mobile platforms can be made to work for business. Areaman Productions were also there to help with use of video in digital environments. Sunday Business Post provided expertise on the importance of content. Enterprise Ireland were available to advise on the practicalities of funding business ideas.
The event took place on 15th April 2010, in Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, Dublin.

Having seen Dave & Diarmuid from New Graphic (we share a building) ripping it up at the last Pecha Kucha night, we were delighted and a little terrified when we were asked to give it a go.

We are also delighted that our short documentary film ‘140 Characters’ will be screened on the night.
