"I've done it this time." Gravitas Ventures has released an official Us trailer for an indie drama titled Lost & Found, one of those films where various interconnected stories intertwine showing how we're all linked in some way. This one takes place at/around a lost & found office of an Irish train station. All the segments are inspired by true stories, and share a theme of something lost or found and characters that come in and out of each other’s lives. The ensemble cast of Lost & Found includes Liam O Mochain (who's also writer and director), Norma Sheahan, Brendan Conroy, Aoibhin Garrihy, Liam Carney, Mary McEvoy, and Sean Flanagan. This looks particularly cheap & cheesy, moreso than most of these interconnecting films. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Liam O Mochain's Lost & Found, direct from YouTube: Lost & Found is 7 interconnecting stories set in and around...

The title is as original as the humour in this portmanteau comedy set in a lost property office
A railway station lost property office in a sleepy town connects the seven interlocking and overlapping stories of this lightweight, cheaply made portmanteau comedy from Ireland. It’s written and directed by Liam O Mochain with the kind of inoffensive hot-water-bottle-laughs you wouldn’t think possible after Father Ted. Well, I say inoffensive, but one of the vignettes – about an uptight bridezilla whose sole character trait is her desperation to get married – is depressingly unfeminist.
The film begins promisingly with some deadpan comedy as gormless Daniel (played by the director) gets a job at the lost property office. His zero to minimal commitment to customer service is up there with Bernard from Black Books. Daniel crops up in the remaining stories, some of which, inevitably, work better than others. Liam Carney gives a subtle performance as Eddie,...

Not every boat was lifted by the Celtic Tiger economy. In "W.C.," the low key, but thoroughly likeable new Irish film by writer and director Liam O Mochain, it’s the people who work unseen and underpaid who are his subjects. At first glance the subject matter may make you wonder – after all, "W.C." is set in and around the male and female toilets of an upscale Dublin jazz bar. As pitches to major studios go, a drama concerning the trials and tribulations of two lowly paid toilet attendants and the people they serve is probably a long shot, but the director persevered. Because O Mochain stayed true to his vision he has produced something rather rare: a convincing contemporary portrait of Irish lives lived on the margins. For that achievement alone his film deserves to be seen and appreciated. Wage slavery and human trafficking are hot button issues, and O’Mochain directs sensitively,...

When I first visited Irish filmmaker Liam O Mochain ten years ago on the set of his debut feature, The Book That Wrote Itself, one of the first things I noticed was that he had managed to pull together production elements that would have been difficult for a film with ten times the budget. On the first day, he had managed to get the City of Dublin to give him a double-decker bus, complete with driver, to shoot on throughout the city. I, and a few dozen other tourists, had just paid the equivalent of $20 each for a tour on a similar bus, just the day before. Later in the production, he visited the Venice Film Festival with a small crew, attended a press conference, and asked a variety of celebrity luminaries questions, in character as Vincent,...
