Our Vision

The SLR region has a population of 165,000. It has been home to a number of incoming productions such as Dark Lies the Island, Jimmy's Hall, Calvary as well as locally generated productions from the likes of Studio Meala (animation for Nickelodeon), Bandit Films Netflix shows Black Ice and Hubert Butler and Leitrim based Marian Quinn (Janey Pictures) productions 32A and Twig.

We are working in the region to delivery access to equipment and provide a range of professional development and training interventions. These are aimed at building the capacity of practitioners in the region to participate fully in the national and in the international film, tv and animation sectors.
