For many of the independent film makers, Br. Oswin McKinney, fms, Order of Marist Brothers, was an icon and his name was synonymous with Marscom Television, the entity he founded to assist the low-budget projects to get to air in top-quality mode or to assist only those needing a simple video production. Whether it was a major production or a simple video, Br. \u201cOz\u201d was always there.<\/p>\n
With his passing, Br. Oswin\u2019s media dream for Marist Communications lives on as his work still continues through the dedicated team at Marscom. The team has completed many projects such as the re-mastering of \u201cA Remarkable Life\u201d for Our Lady\u2019s Nurses for the Poor, a documentary on the life of Eileen O\u2019Connor, the co-founder of the Order and celebrating over 100 years of work by \u201cThe Brown Nurses\u201d. Br. Des Murphy, fms., chaplain at Marist Youth Care, had his project completed with Marscom, which is entitled \u201cMarists Beyond Borders\u201d. It details the establishment of Christianity in the Pacific region and the DVD\u2019s presentation in Fiji to Marists worldwide was a big success.<\/p>\n
Mr. John Corrigan, Director of Kids 4 Kids Inc, a non-profit organization assisting disadvantaged children worldwide, says \u201cBr. Oswin filmed for us since 1989 when he first started Marscom TV until he became too ill to do so. He filmed in various countries and now the Marscom team do almost all our overseas film and video work. We couldn\u2019t have made the documentaries and video clips that we\u2019ve produced without Br. Oz and Marscom.\u201d<\/p>\n
