Panic Attack Post Production Complete
The sound and picture grade for the film is complete! Progress amidst major life events (moving house, fathering twins, that nasty global pandemic) proved to be a slow and steady process but the results were well worth the wait.
Special thanks to sound designer Rob Flynn handling post sound duties, Eileen Timmons of Bear Print Media for colour correction and Windmill Lane for reducing picture noise.
While the film screened as a work-in-progress in the 32nd edition of the Galway Film Fleadh, January 2023 will mark it’s completion by submitting to screen in festivals worldwide.

Panic Attack at Galway Film Fleadh 2020
Just last night the Galway Film Fleadh announced its full programme and Panic Attack is among this year's selection of short films! As safety measures have delayed the picture and sound grade of the project we decided to submit a work-in-progress cut to fly the flag and show our support for Irish film and the transgender community in these uncertain times.
Due to social distancing restrictions the festival have made the decision to present their 2020 edition online. Panic Attack will screen in Irish Talent: New Shorts Five: Fiction on Sat, July 11th at 1pm.
