GLUE at Digital Biscuit Dublin 2015
Digital Biscuit Dublin 2015 is upon us already and GLUE have been displaying at the event with a show-reel of some of our proudest moments over the past two years.
Being hosted again in The Science Gallery in Trinity College, Digital Biscuit is an initiative of the Screen Directors Guild of Ireland, which is the representative body established to support the needs of screen directors in Ireland across all audiovisual media, with it’s members including directors of feature films, animation, documentary, television drama, short films, video art and commercials.
