    Join us on this thrilling episode of FNI Wrapchat as host Paul Webster sits down with acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ross Whitaker to delve into one of the most fascinating tales of mathematical cunning and communal effort in Irish history. Ross takes us behind the scenes of his gripping documentary, "Beat the Lotto," which chronicles the audacious attempt by Stefan Klincewicz and his syndicate to outsmart the Irish National Lottery. In 1992, with the jackpot at a staggering £1.7 million, Klincewicz, a Cork-born accountant of Polish descent, devised a plan that was both simple and audacious. By harnessing the power of mathematical analysis and forming a syndicate, they attempted to purchase every possible number combination. Ross shares the incredible story of how Klincewicz and his team of 100 associates, described as a crowd of reprobates, managed to buy 80% of the available combinations, turning a national pastime into a nail-biting heist. Ross also discusses the cultural impact of the event, exploring how this bold strategy, teetering on the edge of legality, captured the imagination of a nation and changed the rules of the game forever. Tune in to hear about the meticulous planning, the scale of the operation, and the rollicking adventure that ensued.

His work often focuses on compelling narratives within sports and significant cultural events in Ireland. With a keen eye for detail and a profound ability to connect with his subjects, Ross’s documentaries not only inform but resonate deeply with audiences.

    FNI Wrapchat Pod/VidChat Episode Asbestos and Ross Kileen -Don't forget to remember

    We’re excited to announce the latest edition of FNI Wrapchat, brought to you with gratitude to Arri Rental and Kodak! In this episode, Brand new host Johnny Elliott sits down with with creatives Asbestos and Director Ross Killeen to chat about  @DontForgetToRemember  which hits cinemas this weeend 6th Sept. 🎬#SupportIrishMadeFILMS Don’t Forget to Remember is an artist’s exploration of the fragility of memory, and the lived experience of his mother’s advancing Alzhiemers; yet it also celebrates a family’s life lived together. In collaboration with the artist Asbestos, the film opens an honest conversation about the delicate nature of memory. Through the artist’s process, we establish that even though Alzheimer’s brings elements of disintegration and destruction, we can never truly lose a loved one if we hold on to our collective memories. Ross Killeen is a film director based in Dublin. He founded the award winning production company, Motherland which works across film, commercials and music videos. Ross’ directorial debut feature documentary Love Yourself Today, centred on the music of Damien Dempsey and had a nationwide cinematic release in Ireland. The film was nominated for an IFTA and also played all over the UK, New York and Australia. As a prolific Irish artist, Asbestos has been producing street art since 2003, utilising masks to convey narratives and elicit emotions. His works have been displayed worldwide, and he was nominated for “Best International Street Art 2021” for a mural that drew attention to the housing crisis in Ireland. In 2022 he collaborated with the band Idles at Roskilde festival in Denmark on a project called “I Beat Myself Up” where they smashed piñatas off their heads to encourge people to talk about their mental health. His art delves into society’s fixation with self-image while using anonymity to become more transparent and candid in his creations. Notably, he reveals his own vulnerabilities, providing insight into what it means to be human. By opening up to the public his work starts a conversation with the viewer making their contribution essential to his work and giving them a voice in it.
