    A great festival to show off amazing Irish talent. We were so thrilled to have our client's feature LIE OF THE LAND be part of the stellar programme in 2024.

    Delighted to get our film 'HOME' selected for the 2022 Festival. 'Toronto Irish Film Festival' were incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. And they run a fantastic event every year. Looking forward to attending the festival in the future!

    Great festival, and well-attended (especially for a weekend-afternoon shorts showcase!) at one of the best theatres in the city. John and Michael were super accommodating, too!
