See those 3 words Stimulating, evocative, poignant?  Those are the words used too many times to describe the kind of crap shorts that get commissioned in this country.  So guess what?

The IFB should embrace people like Conor McMahon, and others like Ciaran Foy and Andrew Legge.  Young filmmakers that have that rare talent to appeal
