Congratulations to Creative Digital Media year 3 students, CSLK media (a.k.a. Stephen Allen, Ciaran Lowry, Kevin McGuiness and Luke Byrne) on their success at the recent HeadUps Movie Awards. Their short film, Daydream, was awarded an impressive first place in the over 18’s category. The winners were selected through online voting.
The short film competition was organised by HeadsUp.ie, a mental health promotion project , and were supported by Two Tube, RTÉ Two, and the National Office for Suicide Prevention’s ‘Let Someone Know’ campaign. As part of an initiative to end stigma concerning the issue, entries explored how young people can be encouraged to look after their mental health.

Well done lads, you’ve done both yourselves and everyone at ITB so proud .. Keep up the good work, i know mental health is a very touchy subject but with people like yourselves doing great work we can break down the stigma attached to it!!
Well done again
