Back in 2022 when @LarchCat @FilmsScratch contacted me to take part in the film, I never knew the lengths they aspired to attain in the final cut.
Many thanks to all at Scratch (Ruth,Liam) , Conor, Mary ,all at @bealoideasucd @ucddublin .
The film is now there for subsequent...
It was an absolute pleasure to work with everyone on @CivilWarMemory #TheSilentCivilWar. Such a brilliant team of documentary makers, folklorists, historians, researchers. Truly collaborative, cross-generational, and layered in its approach. Congratulations to all involved.

We'd listened to them for years, and always knew they needed a wider audience.
So it was brilliant when @CivilWarMemory arrived, and they were so good to him during filming.
Here's a behind-the-scenes shot -
