Hi my name is PJ McCoole, I am a kickboxing coach and promotor in Thurles and we are running a Full contact and low-kick kickboxing show on 16 of April (10-15 fights approx). I saw your footage from the boxing clinic show and it looks great. If possible could you give me a quote to video and edit a dvd of our event. Thanks a lot.
Pj
Saw your short but great film Nietzsche 5 at a recent Cine Gael film night here in Montreal and was most impressed. We are starting a Bloomsday celebration here in Montreal for June 16th and this short would be a great addition. We note that it is on YouTube and we have posted it on our FB page: Bloomsday 2012 – Montreal Celebration. Lots of events are planned including a film fest with Joycean and Irish themes. Montreal is a great Irish city with many from the diaspora and 40% of Francophones here claiming Irish ancestry. So the time seemed right for us to join in the fun! The events are in the planning phase and the McGill website will be updated soon with much more detail. Let us know if it would be OK to use your film!
