Hear Nebraska | “Brendan McGinn added to The Omaha Film Festival”
Great mention on Hear Nebraska about Brendan McGinn’s “A Film About Loss”
Lincoln’s Brendan McGinn (Dirty Talker, Her Flyaway Manner, Sweats) joins the roster of Nebraska musicians with entries to the 2016 Omaha Film Festival. His short A Film About Loss will run Wednesday, March 9 in the Nebraska Documentaries short film block. From the synopsis:
“What began as a simple daily video journal turned into a short film about my father’s passing from cancer. Shot and edited on an iPhone, A Film About Loss is an honest and raw look into the death of a father from the eyes of a youngest son.”
