Welcome to egomotion, the on-line film-making community based in Cork, Ireland.  We aim to promote film and video production in Cork by putting people in contact with each other, by  providing forums on-line where people can discuss projects, and by arranging screenings and meet-ups where people can come together and get creative.

While our website is now retired, we still have an active presence on Facebook, so make sure to check us out there. This website still contains a lot of really cool information, so feel free to browse through our old motion|forum and our blog posts.

We keep our members informed of the latest developments in independent film-making, as well as providing information on regional developments in the film-making world. We regularly write features on local film-makers, actors and film-making developments in our blog. If you’d like to contribute to our blogs, please let us know 🙂

Our forum seeks to promote movie-making at professional and amateur levels by assisting first-time writers, directors, actors, etc and by generating a deep pool of acting talent and prospective crew members for already established production companies.

It’s easy to get involved in egomotion – just sign up! If you’re  interested in any aspect of film-making, whether it be acting, writing, directing, producing , sound design, music etc. then go ahead and join us. Egomotion is completely free and is run by fellow film-makers who love to bring people together to get creative!
