Landscape of Change charts recent social changes in Ireland through the voices and lives of Irish mothers, teachers and activists. The film examines and discusses controversial subjects such as Ireland's archaic anti abortion legislation and recent changes to divorce and homosexuality laws. As we follow the experiences of Louisa de Cossy, a young woman who grew up in Ireland, a story is told of a community of unknown activists who regenerated Irish society.

The Second to Last Piece
Today we filmed my conversation with my mom, Teren de Cossy. We covered why she moved to Ireland, the places we lived there and the changes we witnessed together. Here are some images from the shoot, courtesy of Jim Cyb.

Watching and Learning
I have been voraciously consuming documentary films, with the aspiration that my editing practice would be reinvigorated. I'm simultaneously awed and intimidated by all the beautiful work I've seen and it has been helpful to remind me of the story I am telling.

Audio
Looking at footage, writing and organizing cannot be done without the audio for me. Recording my own voice and working with the audio files is so much fun. I recorded a conversation on skype with my mom and it was such a laugh. The unscripted conversation is really what I'd like to explore more. The conversations then can become intervals between interviews and b roll can illustrate them also.
Finally a bit of a breakthrough!!!
