The open day, which took place last weekend saw over 1,200 applications from eager participants to attend this special day which was filled with workshops and insightful seminars from prominent figures such as Screen Training Ireland and The Rubberbandits.
Ardmore Studios CEO, Siún Ní Raghallaigh expresses how: “The establishment of Troy Studios will assist Ireland take advantage of the 30% growth in global creative audio visual content predicted for the next five years. It will add 70,000 sq feet of studio space to the existing 110,000 sq ft of sound studio space that already exists in Ireland. It is an exciting initiative and we look forward to progressing plans with Limerick City and County Council to bring this project to fruition and place Limerick on the international map as a new film location.”
