“The Bleeding Pig Festival is really well organised in a great venue. A brilliant programme of shorts. Its size makes it an ideal place to meet and network with other filmmakers. I met a future collaborator in Sinead O’Laughlin at the festival. I’d highly recommend it”

Gemma Doorly, Writer/Director of The Fireman and the Nurse
