Filmmakers Aideen O'Sullivan (No Experience Required) and Ross Whitaker (Saviours), are currently gathering accounts and stories from the people of Ireland about their experiences and memories of public phone boxes, which are almost obsolete due to mobile phone technology. The Dublin duo are filming a 12 minute documentary for the Irish Film Board who have awarded €15,000 in funds for its creation. The documentary aims to highlight the often frequently forgotten function of the Irish phone box in our society today but, more importantly, in the past.
