Galway Film Fleadh 2016 – Abundance of Irish Talent

July 13, 2016 by Kathleen Warner Yeates Leave a Comment

This year’s gathering of Irish and International film industry at the 2016 Galway Film Fleadh only confirmed what we knew – that Irish talent for film making, writing and acting is entering a kind of swell of success. This year Irish films received 2 Academy Awards and 7 nominations,  1 Golden Globe and 6 nominations, as well as 1 Jury Prize in Cannes and 7 selections in Sundance. So the abundance of talent in this year’s Galway Film Fleadh was no surprise.

I am so pleased to say that many of our former students, colleagues, and clients are among the participants and winners in this year’s Galway Film Fleadh!  Please have a peek at a few of our former students and clients below:

Charleigh Bailey -Actor (Award winning film “A Date for Mad Mary”),
Eimear Callaghan – Director, Anthony McDonagh – Producer, Michael O’Carroll-Actor (Award winning film “Groundless”)

Additionally, there are the hugely successful contributing actors, directors, and producers such as John Connors, Fionn Ó Loingsigh, Lynn Rafferty, Charlo Johnson,Tristan Heanue, Brendan Sheehan, Ciarán Dooley, and Ciarán McNamara.

In particular, I am honored to say that there were two films that I worked on as a Directing Actors for Film Specialist Consultant  , the film “Goodbye, Darling” directed by  Elena Doyle and the award winning “Groundless” directed by Eimear Callaghan.

A huge congratulations to all of you mad and talented people!
