Needle Exchange Selected for Full Frame Documentary Film Festival
Colin Quinn's ‘Needle Exchange' is one of 60 short films to have been selected for the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in April. Funded under the Bord Scannán na hÉireann/ Irish Film Board Reality Bites scheme, Needle Exchange was one of 1,200 submissions to the festival this year.
‘Needle Exchange', which was produced by Andrew Freedman for Venom Productions, tells the story of two recovering drug addicts who practice tattooing on each other and find over time that they mark each other in more ways than merely physical.
‘Needle Exchange' has already screened in festivals such as the Galway Film Festival, the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, Worldwide Short Film Festival and Paris Documentary Festival to name a few.
The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, which began in 1998, is now considered to be one of the premier documentary film festivals in the United States. It takes place in Durham, South Carolina from the 12th to the 15th of April 2012.
