Colm O’Murchu
Director, Producer & Writer, DOP, Editor
I love making films and I also love showing people how to make their film dreams a reality. Since 1997 I have worked full time as an active Film Maker and FIlm Teacher.
My passion is directing and I have a strong belief that I should share everything I know about Film Making and therefore I have created International Film Base as a forum for beginner and advanced emerging film makers.
This site will show you how to make your films a reality now. Please look at our Online Film School if you would like to learn everything I know about making films. I also present seven times per year my Weekend Film School both in Australia, United Kingdom and the US
I am currently in Pre production on two feature films and have completed two other feature films which are released in 2011
