Delighted to finally share this incredible project for Discover Ireland

Filmed over 2019 and 2020, this aspirational collaboration with Rothco encourages Irish people to discover the joy of vacationing in Ireland, especially as restrictions begin to ease country-wide.

With such a large-scale project spanning hundreds of miles, trust and a strong sense of collaboration are key and this was well and truly the case with this incredible team.

Are you over 70?
Have you been finding these lockdowns frustratingly tedious?
Fancy volunteering to appear in a documentary film by an award winning filmmaker?

Our sister company Venom Films have been working on a documentary project that has been following some of our older generation during the pandemic. They are now looking for some volunteers to appear in the film.

The filmmaker wants to represent the monotonous nature of the last year and will film through a window of character's home. You could be simply sitting in your living room watching TV, playing cards on your lap top, practising your golf putting in the kitchen, doing yoga in the dining room or practising your violin in the bedroom. We’re open to any suggestions.

The film will screen on RTE in the Autumn.
For more information just enter your details to the attached form and someone will call you back very soon.

Many thanks!
