TV
Tailored Films has produced 10 TV series and 2 TV movies to date for national broadcaster RTÉ. The bulk of this work has been for younger audiences, but we are passionate about delivering quirky, contemporary, brave television that will connect with and speak to Irish and international audiences of all ages – developing projects for older audiences such as 6 x 1 hour psychological thriller ‘The Collective’ and 8 x 1 hour tech thriller ‘Greyhats’.
We also continue to develop projects on our TV slate for young people, including 8 x half hour family drama ‘Dad’s Red Dress’, and 8 x half hour sci-fi drama ‘Yesterday’s Girl’/’Ar Ais Arís’ for TG4. We are the Irish co-producers of the German crime series ‘Der Irland Krimi’ for German broadcaster ARD, and actively seek partnerships for new international co-production ventures for television.
