Creative Digital Media at Institute Technology Blanchardstown

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.

What do people want to tell us that we don’t already know about ITB? (more…)
