Earlier this month, we were delighted to host our Screen Sessions live event, made possible with the support of Screen Ireland and hosted by our wonderful friends at Griffith College.

The day was packed with inspiring conversations. Casting Director Maureen Hughes and actor-director Mo O’Connell kicked things off with a fantastic discussion on performance. This was followed by an insightful chat on art and production design with Annie Atkins and Jill Beecher. After a well-earned coffee break, the event concluded with an engaging session on direction featuring Ciarán Donnelly and Róisín Kearney. Each talk provided a glimpse into the craft, passion, and dedication that goes into the different facets of filmmaking. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry—these talks will be released on our platform soon.

In the meantime, take a look at the wonderful images from our event, taken by Beta Bajgart, and listen back to our previous podcasts:
