Come On Up To The House – The Movie!
At the end of the summer, you probably remember, we travelled around Ireland with our friends from The Footsbarn Travelling Theatre. We took their beautiful circus tent and pitched it in four remote spots. We used the space for music, theatre, poetry and there was even room made for fun, joy and laughter…It was truly a life affirming crazy thing to have undertaken – but it worked – well, we think so….we’d even consider doing it again down the line…
We asked our friend and film maker, Myles O’Reilly, to document the madness… He did so admirably and he’s just finished putting together what we’re calling ‘Come On Up To The House – The Movie’! As we have so, so much footage, I think we might be seeing more in the future as Myles just couldn’t fit everything into a filmish length…but, this is a bloody good start in anyones book…
We are going to put this film up for streaming on vimeo for a limited time (through January most likely). If you want to watch the film, we are asking people if they would donate to a charity that we are supporting this year, Inner City Helping Homeless. A suggested minimum donation of a fiver – If you can donate more, then great and if you can’t afford a fiver, then whatever you can afford will be welcome, but its basically the price of a coffee or a pint …
I’m asking you to go direct to their site too, so that none of the funds is subject to a % to vimeo or a tax man come knocketh if it goes through our accounts or whatever….straight to them as a registered volunteer based charity, and they’ll get 100% of your donation. I hope that makes sense and you don’t mind having to do that as it’s only an extra click or two… https://www.ichh.ie/
We hope you enjoy the film as much as we all enjoyed the journey it took in getting the shows to happen…well – mostly enjoyed it – there were some hairy times 🙂
Have a wonderful holiday and Happy Christmas.
