Deadline Approaches For 2010 Dublin Coca-Cola Cinemagic Int'l Film and TV Fest

Ever wanted to get some advice on TV presenting from Dermot O'Leary? Or learn more about the film industry from Ciaran Donnelly one of the directors of The Tudors? Or maybe radio is more your thing and you have always wanted to drop into Today FM and chat with Ray D'Arcy? Well if you are aged between 16 - 25, this May we have the perfect opportunity for you in Dublin. As part of the forthcoming Coca-Cola Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival for Young People in association with AIB, Dermot O'Leary, Craig Doyle, Aidan Power, Laura Whitmore, Karen Koster, Ray D'Arcy, Rachel Kavanagh, Ed Guiney, Ros & John Hubbard, Ciaran Donnelly, Jon Slattery & Ciara Whelan will all host fun and practical materclasses where they will share their expertise, knowledge and experience.

"I am really looking forward to Cinemagic this year. It's great to get an opportunity to talk to a group of young people who share my passion for radio. There's always an exciting exchange of ideas and information and these master classes" Ray D'Arcy

"I got the TV bug early on, but I was completely clueless about how I could get experience in the industry. I didn't know who to talk to or where to get information, and for a long time I felt like I was banging my head against a wall! So I hope I can give some practical advice to young people about how to get a foot in the door, make yourself stand out from the wannabees, and start a career in TV" Karen Koster
