Core Team

We founded Arcade Film Ltd in 2017 to produce narrative films, documentaries, experimental work, and commercial projects. Our focus is on filmmaker-led initiatives, internationally recognised content, and strong collaborations across the Irish screen sector.

Alongside narrative work, we foreground documentary and arts-focused projects, creating in-depth artist features, exhibition films, and creative podcasts and series with organisations such as the Hugh Lane Gallery, IMMA, the Irish Writers Centre, and the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Recent projects include Mary is Missing (2025; Grand Prix – Best Irish Short, Cork International Film Festival), Turnaround (2024; Best Short Drama – Galway Film Fleadh; Best Short Film – Foyle Film Festival), Headspace (2022; Grand Prix – Best Irish Short, Cork International Film Festival; European Film Awards Shortlist 2023), Lamb (2022; Official Selection – Tribeca Film Festival; Best Irish Short – DIFF 2023), and Is Olc an Ghaoth (2021; RTS Ireland Drama Award nomination), among many others. Earlier work includes Mechanic (2012; Best Short Drama – Galway Film Fleadh).

We manage every stage of production—from concept to final cut—across narrative, documentary, and commercial projects, including ad campaigns, event documentation, livestreams, motion graphics, and theatre video design. Collaboration is central to how we work, helping ideas grow organically and building lasting partnerships with writers, directors, and other creative professionals.

We are committed to supporting emerging filmmakers and championing inclusive filmmaking, making participation, visibility, and accessibility central to everything we do.
