I feel that that after working for 4 years (IT dept) on a project
that employed up to 400 people across Europe and further afield, I
can’t understand why a short film that took six months to make is
getting more headlines than a the first FEATURE film out of Ireland
since the Bluth studios.

Again today RTE compound is ignorance but give a short film more of
the headlines:
Quote:
”
There is Irish interest in five categories. One of the nominees,
‘Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty’, is in the running for the Best
Animated Short Film award.

Other Irish nominees include Tommie Moore, Director of ‘The Secret of
Kells’, Peter Devlin for sound on ‘Star Trek’, and Octagon Films for
the short film, ‘The Door’. ”
The Secret of Kells gets nominated for best animated feature film and
RTE adds this as a secondary note, I think as a news organisation
that can’t even get facts corrects should not be writing news.
If other news organisations can get it right, why can’t RTE ?

Come one, please see some common sense!
Just and update: 15 March I have not received an email back about this, I suppose I should not expect one either!

while I share your clear frustration – Brown Bag Films (who made Granny &c) are clearly locked in the Irish Media TwoStep – RTE have paid for most of their output, and likely will again.
I’d imagine your complaint will be met with some response along the lines of the higher profile of Granny – a circular argument, not that RTE will ever acknowledge it.
