Anyone with an interest in special effects make-up is invited to attend the event (which will be followed by a wine reception) on Wed Apr 28th from 6-8pm in Filmbase.
Terri (Zombie Bashers, Portrait of a Zombie) will be creating cuts, bruises, throat slashes, burns, a zombie monster and more while Tom (Savage, Fairycatcher) will create his dark interpretation of a “Fairy” creature using full prosthetic make up.
Filmmaker Conor McMahon (Deat Meat), will also be on hand to show how realistic blood and brains can be manufactured using little more than a microwave, common foodstuffs and some misguided passion! Also model-maker Ben O’Connor will display some of his recent work, including full robot suit, to showcase more of Ireland’s creative talent.
Attendees on the night are further invited to get creativet. Conor and Terri will judge the best DIY make-up and costume and the winner will be the lucky recipient of a fabulous prize and may even get to star in a Conor McMahon cinematic creation at the event.
