Little Cinema – The Room Screening 2014

January 22, 2014

Thanks everyone who came along last to the Room screening! Mighty craic was had!

Kenny and Liam had great fun introducing the phenomenon to some of our ‘Room Virgins’.

Congrats to Sarah Browne, our best Tommy Wiseau look-alike from last night’s screening! She got three Little Cinema cocktails as a reward!

Which brings me to the next point of interest – The Little Cinema Cocktail! We have our own cocktail – how awesome is that?!

House infused popcorn rum, butterscotch liqueur and coke. It tases like caramel popcorn and it’s dangerously delicious! Thanks ever so much Kelly’s Galway for the gesture!

The cocktail will ONLY be available at our Little Cinema nights, UPSTAIRS in Kelly’s, for €5. We had it last night and it’s bloody amazing! Sample it next Tuesday at our January screening!

Cheerios,

Julia, Kenny and Liam

Random Acts of Kindness

January 17, 2014

On the night of our Little Cinema Christmas Special, our Little Cinema ‘Short Films Here Tonight’ sign was cheekily stolen from outside of Kelly’s. It was a pity, as it’s a sign that served us well for a long time! We put the word out there on social media, trying to claim it back.

It was later found – muddied, creased and with tyre marks on it!

BUUUUUUT, and this is LOVELY, the manager at Cantec Print got in touch with us the next day, saying that if we need to get the sign re-done they would be able to help us out free of charge!

In the end, they gave us not one, but TWO signs! It is acts of kindness like that that tip the balance in the world for the good!

Thank you so so much to the peeps at Cantec Print! Make sure you think of them for your printing needs next time and follow them on facebook and twitter!

Julia, Kenny and Liam

Little Cinema Christmas Special

December 22, 2013

The Little Cinema Christmas Special Screening has sort of become our tradition now, this one was our third! On a Tuesday before Christmas we all get together Upstairs in Kelly’s Bar and kick off the festivities with Christmas themed films made specially for the night. We also always pick a charity to help out to spread the joy and hold a special raffle to raise some fund for a worthy cause. This year we chose Console. If you haven’t yet heard about Console, they are the national suicide prevention and bereavement assistance charity. We chose it because we think everyone has been touched by this issue, directly or indirectly and the people behind the charity have already saved many lives!

We also made them this video featuring two powerful stories of two truly inspiring people and highlights the great work that Console does.

Console can be contacted on [email protected] or their National Helpline number: 1800 201 890

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful sponsors and good will of people that attended the screening we have raised a wonderful €564.02, which will be put towards the great work that they do. Once more, HUGE HUGE thanks to everyone for their support and our fantastic sponsors: Allan Cavanagh from Caricatures Ireland, Missmash, Goodness Cakes, Kelly’s Galway, Nails by Naomi, IMC Galway, The Ardilaun Hotel, Galway City On Ice & Joe Casey.
