Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá déag de mhí an Mhárta. Is mise Gráinne Ní Bhrosnacháin. Bhain Cillian Murphy éacht amach nuair a bhuaigh sé Gradam Oscar don aisteoir fireann is fearr dá ról mar J Robert Oppenheimer. Ba é an chéad uair riamh a bhuaigh duine a rugadh in Éirinn an gradam seo. Scannán beathaisnéise atá ann, a stiúir agus a léirigh Christopher Nolan faoin bhfisiceoir a chruthaigh an buama adamhach. D'éirigh leis an scannán seacht nOscar ar fad a fháil. Agus é ag glacadh leis an ngradam dúirt Cillian go raibh sé an-tógtha ar fad. Ghabh sé buíochas le Nolan, an criú agus a chomhréalta, lena thuismitheoirí agus clann. Dúirt sé go bhfuilimid inár gcónaí i ndomhan Oppenheimer, agus thiomnaigh sé an gradam do na daoine a dheánann síocháin. Labhair sé i nGaeilge chomh maith nuair a dúirt sé 'go raibh míle maith agaibh' ag deireadh a óráide. Is as Corcaigh ó dhúchas Cillian Murphy agus tá gach éinne ina cheantar agus timpeall na hÉireann an-bhródúil as. Bhuaigh an comhlacht leiriúcháin Element Pictures ó Bhaile Átha Cliath ceithre ghradam don scannán ‘Poor Things' ina bhfuil an t-aisteoir Emma Stone, a bhuaigh an gradam don aisteoir baineann is fearr. Tá an t-iriseoir iomráiteach agus comhfhreagraí nuachta Charlie Bird tar éis bás a fháil. Le linn daichead bliain mar iriseoir, thug Charlie Bird tuairiscí ar roinnt scéalta tábhachtacha in Éirinn agus go hidirnáisiúnta, lena n-áirítear tine Stardust, seachaint cánach sa Bhanc Éireannach Náisiúnta, na hionsaithe sceimhlitheoireachta i Meán Fómhair 2001 agus an súnámaí san Aigéan Indiach in 2004. Thosnaigh sé amach mar thaighdeoir le RTÉ in 1974 agus bhí cáil air mar dhuine díograiseach agus seiftiúil ar na cláracha Seven Days agus an Late Late Show agus ansin ag glacadh páirt le cúrsaí nuachta ó 1980 ar aghaidh. Sa bhliain 2021 deineadh diagnóis go raibh an galar néarón luadrach air. Chuaigh sé os comhar an phobail leis an ngalar agus thosnaigh sé an feachtas Climb With Charlie. Dhreap sé Cruach Phádraig, ag bailiú 3.3 milliún euro ar son An Cumann Galar Néarón Luadrach in Éirinn agus Pieta. D'eagraigh sé a luaithreach bheith curtha in Inis Oírr, áit ar thug sé cuairt uirthi go minic le breis is caoga bliain. Thaistil an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar go dtí na Stáit Aontaithe le ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar Lá Fhéile Pádraig. Chaith sé dhá lá ar thuras go Bostún. Bhuail sé le Gobharnóir Massachusetts, Maura Healey, agus dhein sé óráid i Leabharlann John F. Kennedy. Ar an Aoine bhuail sé leis an Leasuachtarán Kamala Harris agus bhí cruinniú déthaobhach aige leis na Uachtarán Joe Biden. Dúirt an Taoiseach go mbainfeadh sé úsáid as an ardán atá aige chun béim a chur ar shos cogaidh sa Mheánoirthear. Ina chuid óráidí i mBostún agus in Washington, tharraing sé aird ar an ionsaí uafásach a dhein Hamas ar Iosrael ar an 7ú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair chomh maith leis an tubaiste atá ag tarlú faoi láthair in Gaza. Ag dinnéar de chuid The Ireland Funds bhí Céad-Aire agus LeasChéad-Aire Thuaisceart Éireann, Michelle O'Neill agus Emma Little-Pengelly, i láthair. An príomhchuspóir a bhí acu ná infheistiú a mhealladh go dtí an Tuaisceart. Ag an dTeach Bán tháinig an Taoiseach agus an tUachtarán le chéile. Dúirt Biden go bhfuil Éire agus Na Stáit Aontaithe ag ceiliúradh céad bliain de chaidreamh taidhleoireachta agus ba bhreá leis teacht ar ais go hÉirinn. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Ed Guiney of Element Pictures reflects on Ireland's success at the Academy Awards, where Poor Things a film by the Dublin based production company was nominated for 11 Oscars.

Cillian Murphy, a proud Corkman helped Oppenheimer pick up 7 Academy Awards. Poor things produced by Dublin based Element pictures picked up 4 awards including Emma Stone winning Best Actress. We cross live to Hollywood with Henry McKean who has been reporting on the great night at the Oscars. Also speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Andrew Lowe, Producer of Poor Things and Co-CEO and founder of Element Pictures.

It was a great night for the Irish at the Oscars with Cillian Murphy taking home the Best Actor award for his role in Oppenheimer There was success for Element Pictures too picking up 4 Oscars for Poor Things, including Emma Stone picking up the Best Actress gong.Kieran was joined by Jim Sheridan, Irish film director, Natalie Britton, Actress and Actor Paul Meade to discuss...

Cillian Murphy wins best actor at the Oscars and Element Pictures brought home Oscars too. Henry reports live from Hollywood on a great night for the Irish.

Also speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Andrew Lowe, Producer of Poor Things and Co-CEO and founder of Element Pictures.

Is Cillian Murphy about to make history in becoming the first Irish-born man to win best actor, and will Irish production company Element Pictures convert some of their 11 nominations for ‘Poor Things'? Anton speaks to Henry McKean who has been soaking up the Oscar buzz ahead of tonight's ceremony.

Andrew Lowe, CEO of production company Element Pictures, joins the programme from LA ahead of the Oscars this weekend.

Cillian Murphy looks unbeatable for the Best Actor gong. But who else should win at the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday night? And who will win?Irish Times chief film correspondent Donald Clarke says that it's shaping up to be Oppenheimer's year at the Oscars. But what about Barbie? And could Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things, produced by Dublin-based Element Pictures, also do well?This time last year Irish hopes were high with The Banshees of Inisherin getting nine nominations - on the night it lost out in all its categories. Could the same happen to Poor Things with its 11 nods?The organisers will be nervous about any break in the relative silence about the Gaza conflict that has persisted throughout awards season. It might, says Clarke, just be time for an award winner to break the silence - once the statuette is safely in their hands. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an ceathrú lá is fiche de mhí Feabhra. Is mise Liam Ó Brádaigh D'fhógair na Stáit Aontaithe smachtbhannaí móra an tseachtain seo atá dírithe ar an Rúis mar gheall ar bhás cheannaire an fhreasúra sa tír, Alexei Navalny, agus an cogadh leanúnach san Úcráin. Fógraíodh bás Navalny sa phríosún ar an 16ú de mhí Feabhra. Dúirt na húdaráis san áitreabh pionóis sa tSibéir ina raibh sé á choinneáil nár tháinig an mothú ar ais ann tar éis dó titim i ndiaidh siúlóide. Dúirt Yulia Navalny, baintreach Alexei, gur nimhíodh Navalny leis an néaroibreán, Novichok, agus gurb é seo an fáth nach bhfuil a chorp scaoilte go fóill. Díreoidh na smachtbhannaí is déanaí ar raon réimsí, lena n-áirítear bunáiteanna cosanta agus tionsclaíochta na tíre, mar aon le foinsí ioncaim don gheilleagar. Bhuaigh an t-aisteoir as Corcaigh, Cillian Murphy, gradam don Aisteoir is Fearr ag na BAFTAs Dé Domhnaigh seo caite as a léiriú sa scannán Oppenheimer. Sa scannán, léirigh Murphy an t-eolaí taobh thiar den bhuama adamhach, agus tá sé anois ina phríomh-iomaitheoir le bheith ar an dara haisteoir Éireannach riamh an gradam don Aisteoir is Fearr a bhuachaint ag na Oscars. D'éirigh chomh maith leis an scannán, Poor Things, a léirigh an comhlacht Éireannach, ‘Element Pictures.' Bhain an scannán duaiseanna amach as léiriú Emma Stone chomh maith le dearadh agus éifeachtaí amhairc. Den tríú huair, chros na Stáít Aontaithe rún na Náisiún Aontaithe chun sos cogaidh daonnúil láithreach a éileamh i gcogadh Iosrael-Hamas. Chuir na Stáit Aontaithe i gcoinne an rúin, a fuair tacaíocht fhorleathan, ag rá go gcuirfeadh an comhaontú isteach ar an gcaibidlíocht chun gialla Iosraelacha a shaoradh. Ba é 13-1 an vóta sa Chomhairle Slándála ina raibh 15 bhall (agus staon an Ríocht Aontaithe). Go dtí seo, maraíodh níos mó na 29,000 Palaistíneach in ionsaithe míleata Iosrael, de réir Aireacht Sláinte Gaza, a deir gur mná agus leanaí a bhí i bhformhór na dtaismeach. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Today's guest is one of Ireland's most notable film producers.Beginning his life in the Irish capital, he pursued his passion into movie production during his time at Trinity College Dublin where he set up a film society with a certain Lenny Abrahamson.Today, he and his company Element Pictures have come a long way from those days though, having produced the likes of Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite, and Lenny's very own movie Room, both of which our guest picked up Oscar nominations for (and a BAFTA win for The Favourite).He's also the man behind the international phenomenon of Normal People that exploded recent best actor nominee Paul Mescal onto our screens.I reached out to him after watching the amazing Calm with Horses that he produced with our mutual friend Kate and I'm very happy to have him here today. My guest is Mr Ed Guiney

We look at an interesting documentary where a woman tells a big lie, and we cast our gazes at the uneven, ultimately more than the sum of its parts, The Wonder. As always, enjoy! Photo credit: The Wonder (2022), Element Pictures and Screen Ireland. Music:  Pictures of the Floating World & Someday by Sergey Cheremisinov.

This week my guest is producer Jeanie Igoe.  Jeanie's big break came when she landed a role at A24, where her credits as a production executive include Barry Jenkins' MOONLIGHT, Trey Edwards Shults', IT COMES AT NIGHT, Bo Burnham's EIGHTH GRADE and Robert Eggers' THE LIGHTHOUSE. She also served as a producer on their TV series RAMY, and a co-producer on David Lowery's THE GREEN KNIGHT. She then launched herself as an independent producer, with her first project MISS JUNETEENTH, the directorial debut from Channing Godfrey Peoples going on to premiere at Sundance and receive a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize. Most recently, Jeanie co-produced CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS alongside Catherine Magee and the team at Element Pictures, including former podcast guest Emma Norton and Development Producer Chelsea Morgan Hoffman who developed Sally Rooney's novel into the series script, alongside the writers.  We talk about moving to New York, getting a job at A24 in its fledging years as a company and then being witness to their exponential growth, making the decision to start producing independently, moving back to Ireland, maintaining a work-life balance, how Jeanie creates an atmosphere of collaboration and care on set and adapts her role to the needs of the project and the filmmaker. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I did having it.

Element Pictures lines up a great cast for a new collaboration with Lanthimos, while Netflix unveils a look at that highly anticipated Irish animation, My Father's Dragon.

Avec Normal People, la romancière Sally Rooney s'est faite connaître du grand public. C'était donc l'occasion d'adapter son premier roman, Conversations With Friends avec la même équipe créative d'Element Pictures. Cette fois-ci l'histoire suit Frances (la nouvelle Alison Oliver), la vingtaine réservée, qui poursuit ses études et écrit des poèmes qu'elle présente sur la scène artistique de Dublin en duo avec l'expansive Bobbi (Sasha Lane de The Miseducation of Cameron Post), son ex petite-amie devenue son âme sœur platonique. Lors de l'une de leurs représentations, les deux jeunes filles font la rencontre de Melissa (Jemima Kirke de Girls), une romancière plus âgée qu'elles, et de Nick (Joe Alwyn vu dans La Favorite), son mari comédien. Bobbi avoue être séduite par Melissa. Frances semble, elle, intriguée par Nick mais n'en dit rien. S'ensuit alors une exploration poétique des relations amoureuses modernes. Les deux premiers épisodes commenceront le 25 août sur Canal+ pour douze épisodes au total. https://youtu.be/-04oYhwsVXU La série vient décrypter les relations romantiques modernes avec le point de vue d'une jeune femme dans la vingtaine, car même si les quatre personnages sont importants, Frances reste bien l'héroïne de l'histoire. Si le rythme lent et langoureux de Normal People résonnait avec le public qui était captivé par le couple principal, il parait un peu difficile à suivre dans Conversations With Friends. Surtout que l'alchimie était plus qu'évidente dans la première série alors qu'elle semble un peu moins tangible ici. Element Pictures a battu le fer tant qu'il était chaud mais peut-être qu'une série n'était pas le meilleur format pour cette histoire qui tire sur la longueur ou qu'il était un peu trop tôt pour reproduire la même formule. Les personnages sont tout de même intéressants et surtout les acteurs les incarnent à merveille. Cependant on se perd parfois dans les longues réflexions parfois trop intellectualisées et sur-interprétées qui peuvent amener de la frustration. À l'opposé, la beauté des dialogues et cette réflexion sont ce qui tirent la série du lot. On peut se surprendre à envier cette vie qui parait simple, où l'utilisation de la technologie n'est pas à outrance, ce qu'on a tendance à oublier dans le dating moderne. Du côté photographie, l'image reste très belle et c'est toujours Lenny Abrahamson qui est majoritairement derrière la caméra (qui de mieux qu'un Irlandais pour adapter une Irlandaise). Son point de vue intimiste et naturaliste nous rapproche encore plus des personnages. Ils paraissent authentiques et partagent des moments de malaises privés avec les spectateurs. L'attachement aux mots dans la série joue un rôle important, et en plus d'une ode à l'amour il s'agit aussi de montrer la force de la parole. [bs_show url="conversations-with-friends"] Conversations With Friends démarre le 25 août sur Canal+.

The C21 team on the return of the LA Screenings and Content LA amid the rise of US studio-led streamers and a slump in Netflix subscribers; Element Pictures' Ed Guiney and Emma Norton on the move from film to TV and becoming part of Fremantle; and Big Light Productions' Frank Spotnitz and Emily Feller on a new deal with Marty Adelstein's Tomorrow Studios.

My guest this week is Rose Garnett, the Director of BBC Film. Since joining the BBC in 2017, Rose has commissioned and Executive Produced a wide range of titles including… Joanna Hogg's THE SOUVENIR and THE SOUVENIR: PART II Eliza Hittman's NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS Sean Durkin's THE NEST Steve McQueen's SMALL AXE Jane Campion's THE POWER OF THE DOG Debbie Tucker Green's EAR FOR EYE ...among many others and is passionate about backing new and emerging filmmakers. Rose was also an EP on BBC Three's smash hit adaptation of Sally Rooney's NORMAL PEOPLE, produced by Element Pictures. After graduating from Cambridge University, Rose worked in theatre before freelancing as a script editor and producer. Then she joined Film4 where she would become Head of Creative. Whilst there, Rose developed and executive produced an array of recent successful UK films, including Yorgos Lanthimos's THE FAVOURITE, Martin McDonagh's THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING MISSOURI, Steve McQueen's WIDOWS, Lenny Abrahamson's ROOM, Lynne Ramsay's YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE and Andrea Arnold's AMERICAN HONEY. It was an immense pleasure to talk to Rose about a surfeit of topics, from how theatre prepared her for a career in film, what she learned working at Film4, what it means to be a director of a public funder and the considerations that come into play in making that organisation accountable, accessible, inclusive and supportive to what success look like and how she and the BBC Film team back filmmakers. Unsurprisingly, Rose had a lot of wisdom that she was generous enough to share and I know that this is an interview I will be returning to time and time again.  Please note that this was recorded remotely over Zoom and there are some occasional audio glitches.  This is episode 100 of Best Girl Grip. 

Ce n'est pas pareil avec les autres... Ce mois-ci, Victoire, Pascale, Marianne et Jeanne comparent le roman Normal People de Sally Rooney à son adaptation en mini-série par Lenny Abrahamson et Hettie MacDonald. Connell et Marianne grandissent dans la même petite ville de l'ouest de l'Irlande. Tout les oppose : lui est le sportif populaire du lycée, elle est la paria introvertie. Pourtant, irrésistiblement, ils vont développer une relation ensemble comme avec nul autre. Au fil des années, ils vont se rapprocher, s'éloigner, mais surtout grandir grâce à l'autre...  La mini-série est-elle cependant fidèle à l'écriture si juste et sensible de Sally Rooney ? Réponse dans l'épisode ! 3 min 15 : On commence par parler du roman Normal People écrit par Sally Rooney et paru en 2018. 51 min 56 : On enchaîne sur son adaptation en mini-série réalisée par Lenny Abrahamson et Hettie MacDonald sortie en 2020. 1h 52 min : On termine sur nos recommandations autour de Sally Rooney, des amours adolescentes, des comédies romantiques irlandaises et des romans d'apprentissage.  Si vous avez lu ou vu Normal People, n'hésitez pas à nous donner votre avis !

Element Pictures set to work with Shane Meadows while Warner Bros plan to remake a Tony Scott 1983 vampire movie. Plus Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead and the latest releases with Garret Daly.

As part of the Doing Design Festival V2 on June 18th we are delighted to welcome, one of Irelands most talented and respected musicians SJ McArdle who will be performing live for us at the event. More about SJ McArdle. As a solo singer-songwriter, SJ has also released three albums, most recently Blood and Bones in 2011. The songs feature contributions from some of SJ’s heroes like Rodney Crowell, guitarist Richard Bennett (Steve Earle’s Guitar Town) and the Love Sponge Strings (Bruce Springsteen’s The Rising). Irish Times (photo by Frank Miller) The album’s lead-off song, “Two Steps From Heaven” was the main song in the Cecelia Ahern-written movie Between Heaven and Here. Accompanying the album release was some significant media attention and reviews and very successful German and Irish tours. Another of SJ’s songs, “Till The Docklands Drown”, is performed during Element Pictures’ A Date For Mad Mary (2016) and several of his readings of traditional Irish songs are featured in the 2019 movie End of Sentence, starring Sarah Bolger, Logan Lerman and John Hawkes. He performed songs from Blood and Bones live on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show on Today FM and on Ireland AM on TV3. In 2009 he completed a European arena tour as special guest to Reamonn, playing to 70,000 people over three weeks. SJ has also been in occasional demand as a session musician, playing mandolin for Ricky Warwick as they opened shows for Bob Dylan (Odyssey, Belfast) and Sheryl Crow (Point, Dublin). He has also shared a stage or studio with Neil Hannon, Stewart Agnew, Joe Elliott and Miss Paula Flynn. Praise for Kern’s False Deceiver: “Quite lovely … an intriguing release. Those interested in trad music that crosses over into singer/songwriter territory will find this album particularly attractive, but its accessibility will have easy appeal to general audiences. Thumbs up!” – The Irish Echo Praise for Blood and Bones: “Bravo for an artist who has taken contemporary Irish music to parts it far too seldom reaches” – Hot Press “SJ’s deep, sonorous voice brings authority to the songs. If Whipping Boy were raised in Nashville they might sound like this” – Mail On Sunday “Spare couplets conjuring entire vistas with the focus of David Lynch” – The Irish TimesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the telly star of 2020, breaking records here in and in the UK and picking up fans from Kourtney Kardashian to James Corden but the success keeps coming for Irish-made TV show Normal People. The Element Pictures produced show has been nominated for 'Best Series' and Daisy Edgar Jones has been nominated in the acting category for her role as Marianne. Producer of Normal People, Ed Guiney, joined Dermot and Dave to explain how they'll eventually get a chance to celebrate their success and what we can expect from the next Sally Rooney adaptation 'Conversations with Friends'. [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/02/04120158/EdGuiney_0402.mp3"][/audio]

Ed Guiney, of Element Pictures on Golden Globe nominations for Normal People, piano player and keyboardist Rick Wakeman, author Max Porter and Jenn Gannon reviews ZeroZeroZero.

Ed Guiney is a Producer and the Co-Founder of Element Pictures. Ed's credits include the films ‘Room', ‘The Favourite' and in the television world, there was of course ‘Normal People'. Georgie asks Ed about how he got started in the industry, what it was like lifting the characters of Marianne and Connell from the page to the screen and Ed tells Georgie about working on Sally Rooney's other brilliant novel, ‘Conversations with Friends'.

This week my guest is Joanne Michael, the Director of Marketing and Distribution at Cornerstone, an international sales and financing company that launched in 2015.  Some of their recent titles include Herself directed Phyllida Lloyd and produced by Element Pictures, Josephine Decker’s enthralling psycho-drama Shirley starring Elisabeth Moss and Michael Stuhlbarg, the screen adaptation of Emma Jane Unsworth’s Animals as well as an upcoming project called The Fantastic Flitcrofts starring Mark Rylance and directed by Craig Roberts. Jo came to Cornerstone having spent five years at HanWay Films where she managed the international launches and releases of award-winning films including Todd Haynes’ Carol and John Crowley’s Brooklyn.  We talk about the intricacies of marketing for a sales company as opposed to a distributor, the creative point of view it requires, what happens when a film goes to a market and the best piece of advice that Jo has ever received. As someone who had a brief stint working in sales it was a joy to revisit that element of the film industry and also during a year where things have felt decidedly quieter on the cinematic front, to be reminded of the madness and magic of a market. So I’m very grateful to Jo for joining me.

This week, Adrian tackles the potential deaths of cinemas. He's joined by the RTÉ arts broadcaster Rick O'Shea and Andrew Lowe, the part-owner of the Lighthouse and Palas (Galway) cinemas and a co-founder of the film production company Element Pictures. Adrian puts it to them that Disney's decision to prioritise streaming from now on could be a signal of what's to come, with more and more movie budgets going into platforms like Disney+, Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV+. This, in turn, could lead to long term cinema closures as people start cutting back on the number of times they want to go into multiplexes compared to the 65-inch 4K telly in their own front room.

Who knows when we'll get to lose ourselves in the darkness of a cinema again? But when we do all of us at The Women's Podcast are urging you to go and see a wonderful Irish film called Herself which tells the story of a brutalised single mother Sandra and her dream to build her own house where she and her two small daughters can be safe. The story of the film was written by Dubliner Clare Dunne who also stars, and was inspired by a real-life friend of Clare's who was forced to declare herself homeless and live in a hotel in order to get on the housing list. It tells the story of how women in this situation. women fleeing terrifying home situations of domestic abuse, are treated by society and the legal system. But at the heart, it's a hopeful, uplifting film directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) about how one woman took matters into her own hands despite all the obstacles. Already critically acclaimed, Herself - a co-prodcution between Sharon Horgan's company Merman and Element Pictures - is moving, funny and at times painful to watch. Clare Dunne joined us on the episode to talk about a movie that was a real labour of love. Also, a reminder that tickets are still available for our Big Night In Season 2.

** Free movie stream on Volta.ie - code at the end of the episode ** We're halfway through our View It On Volta series, and we're delighted to have Emma Norton of Element Pictures on the podcast this week. She chats to us about one of this week's featured films, Rosie, as well as her work as an executive producer on Normal People. Aoife and Lauren chat about the fantastic films Michael Inside (a true gem) and Rosie (a very affecting portrait of a family affected by homelessness). And you can watch one of the films for free on Volta.ie with the code we give out at the end. Sponsored by Volta.ie, but all our own opinions.

This accelerated reopening is bound to be good news for cinemas up and down the country. But for the makers of films and television dramas the pandemic has been particularly challenging. We are joined now by the Chair of Audio Visual Ireland, Andrew Lowe from Element Pictures.

I had a really wonderful chat with Emma Norton, who is an In-House Producer at Ireland’s Element Pictures, she was formerly Head of Development there and she’s worked on a number of their big titles, including The Favourite, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Room, The Lobster, Frank and The Guard. She has also produced Rosie and A Date for Mad Mary and most recently she exec produced the smash hit TV series that everyone’s been devouring - Normal People. We talk about getting fired from her first job as an agent’s assistant, freelancing, working for Film4, making the move to Ireland, building relationships with writers and directors and the different between adapting material for TV as opposed to film, as well as how lockdown has been treating her. Speaking of treats, I think this one, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. There are lots of pearls of wisdom inside.

“Do whatever it takes to fix our economy, we must bring all the artillery to play” – In this episode of Ibec Voices, Fergal O'Brien and Siobhan Masterson of Ibec outline a €15bn “plan of scale” to reboot and reimagine the Irish economy.Andrew Lowe, co-founder of Element Pictures, talks about the business of Cannes Film Festival, making Normal People and the show's role in showcasing Irish culture, and the post-COVID-19 world of film and TV production.And Noel Keeley, CEO of Musgrave Group (SuperValu, Centra, MarketPlace, La Rousse Foods), describes the company's strategy during COVID-19, the importance of developing a digital offering as part of the overall customer experience (CX), and effective leadership at a time of crisis.

Growing up in Dublin, one of Ed’s closest friends was Lenny Abrahamson, with whom he started making films early on. When Ed founded his company Element Pictures later on with Andrew Lowe, the two continued collaborating together. After making some waves with films such as Frank or Garage, the company’s big international year was 2015 with both Room and The Lobster. They went on to produce more unique films such as Disobedience and The Favourite. Most recently, Ed and Lenny collaborated again on the wonderful series Normal People. Listen to Ed talk about his way from Filmmaking Society at Trinity to the Oscars, the Irish Film Community and why he was hoping to not like Normal People when first reading it - but thank god he did.

Hello my beautiful sickos, welcome back to Behind the Horror Movie. This episode may be a trigger for some, so listener discretion is advised.

In today’s episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by journalist Jenn Gannon and author Emer McLysaght for a discussion about Normal People, the Irish TV show that has everyone talking. It’s the small screen adaptation of Sally Rooney’s best selling novel, which was released just eighteen months ago. Lenny Abrahamson and Hettie McDonald directed the new series from Element Pictures, which was filmed last summer in Dublin and Sligo. It’s already been the topic of a heated discussion on Liveline (it’s the national broadcaster promoting "fornication" don’t you know) and has received rave reviews both at home and abroad. Jenn and Emer have binge watched the entire 12 part series and share their thoughts on how the show perfectly portrays teenage lust, angst and awkwardness. No spoilers.
