With maybe fifty other people.
Afterwards, the producer and editor of the documentary answered questions from Alan Hall and the audience. Pretty neat, huh?
No, not neat. Terrific.
The documentary was Mighty Mac, from RTÉ’s Documentary On One, with producer Michael O’Kane and editor Liam O’Brien
The event was called In The Dark. It will be hosting more listening events during the London International Documentary Festival, and I signed up to volunteer my help on the spot.
It attracted quite an audience of stars (even from across the Atlantic – apparently one half of the Kitchen Sisters was present), and I was certainly not the only Irish producer there. I mean, aside from the producer of the doc, of course. And did it go down differently between the Irish and non-Irish listeners? Yep. But okay I know Limerick (where the doc happens), so even over Irish listeners who don’t, it was going to resonate more with me.
The next event is due to feature someone from NRK, so no doubt that will play differently for Non-Scandinavians there that night too.
Anyway. Make a note: In The Dark. Great documentary events, in London.
