Roll up, roll up, roll up! The Circus is in town!

Howdy folks!

My name is Irish O'Reilly, and I'm the worlds biggest circus strongman based out of Melbourne, Australia.
My troupe and I tour Australia most of the year performing in regional agricultural shows and other things like that.

We released a DVD a few years ago that was a mockumentary on the circus life. We filmed it entirely on Flips. We film a lot of skits on the road, and just recently pitched a tv series to a network.. They loved the look, and the story, but rejected due to sound quality, which I completely understand. Since then I've been getting a lot more serious about it all as we want to re-do it and re-pitch it, so that's what brought me here :)

Reading other posts around, you guys seem fantastic so I think I'm going to enjoy it here.
 
Dan: It most certainly is an intriguing world.. The circus world just keeps on surprising me. It always make me happy when others like the circus! It started to die out a touch about a decade ago; Cirque du Solei, while I love the product, dramatically changed a lot of peoples perception on circus. We are a very gritty 1920s vaudevillian style.


Steve: We put a bunch of our stuff online.

That clip is a 10min preview of an episode from the DVD (About half sized)

Hope you enjoy! :)
