Sit Vac and relax

“Situations Vacant”  Director Lisa Mulcahy’s ruminations.

Welcome to the blog of Lisa Mulcahy - the director of the soon-to-be-released feature film "SITUATIONS VACANT." (December 4th in cinemas all over Ireland.) 

In this tiny spot in the gigantic universe of blogspots I will try to enlighten you as to how  effortlessly easy/horribly hard it is to make a low budget movie. So watch this space  whilst I take each of the 18 shoot days one at a time (a bit like the way I took the valium when shooting - more like 5 at a time) until that last moment on that last day when some responsible person clasped my shoulders in a vice-like grip, shook me out of my now- permanent frenzied state of egomania and said "Lisa, you must stop this madness now! There's no more stock and no more sausages for the mid-morning sambo's."

I knew as soon as they mentioned the sausages that it must be all over.

( Hop over to the red 'links' section on this page to find the Situations Vacant website where  amongst other juicy bits, you will be treated to my ruminations on how the whole thing started)
