All of us here at Clap ‘n Load Studios are thrilled to announce our short-documentary film “Visionaries” has been accepted into Fastnet Film Festival 2022! 

We’re so excited to be part of this festival, not least because it’s the third festival “Visionaries” has been selected for this year, but because it’s one of Ireland’s largest and leading independent film festivals that brings together the best of first time and established filmmakers from around the world!



We can’t tell you how proud we are of our short documentary, and once again we’d like to reiterate our sincere gratitude to Donal Haughey, Alan Duggan, Galway Film Centre / Galway Co. Council, our production crew, and our documentary subjects, Frank Kelly, Conor Maguire and Audrey Tormey who make the film as warm, insightful and engaging as they are.
