Thanks for visiting this website to find out more about my Masters documentary project Seven Shades of Green.

This  project- now in select screenings-  is both a transatlantic journey and an encounter of those who consider themselves Irish.  By looking at seven people’s lives, living in both the United States and Ireland,  we take a trip and gain insight into modern Ireland, while learning about its past…

Screening with members of the Irish Pastoral Centre

I had the great opportunity to show “Seven Shades of Green” to about 40 senior members of the Irish Pastoral Centre on Nov. 10. They came to visit another Pastoral Center, the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Boston in Braintree, MA.

Great to be able to visit with them, find out what counties some of them were from, and recieve their feedback after the screening. Seems like they liked it! Thanks to all who helped make this event possible-

A new look to the website.  So I figured I should change the look a bit, and I really like the customized header.

As I have access to templates, I do not have creative control over many of the aspects.  Thus, this font style and size is not my  preference…  However, it is good to have you here and I invite to play the clips and come by for an upcoming screening-

Thanks!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

In honor of the great saint and his day, I wanted to post this clip that renders a vision of St. Patrick (see below). The saint plays an important role in this documentary.

Thanks very much to illustrators Kara Waxman, L.D. Symington, unknown stained glass artisan, and to Mario Valdes as the voice of St. Patrick.

“Seven Shades of Green” to show at Boston College

On Thursday, Oct. 28 at 7:30pm, “Seven Shades of Green” will show at Boston College. 

Afterward, I will be speaking a bit on the production of this picture and taking any questions the audience might have.  The staff at Boston College’s John J. Burns library has been very gracious in allowing me to research and use beautiful archival images from their rare collection in this production.   These treasures played a vital role in the story.   I look forward to bringing this documentary to campus!

Please email me at a.justbell@gmail.com if you would like to attend the screening.
