Tiger Darling Productions

Tiger Darling is an Irish production company, founded in 2017 by Alicia Ní Ghráinne and Michael Kinirons with a focus on creating uniquely authored, audience driven content for the international market. Our mission is to create visionary works with high impact and to collaborate with the highest caliber of creative talent.

Tiger Darling produced its first feature film, THE SPARROW, written and directed by Michael and produced by Alicia which won Best First Feature at the Galway Fleadh in 2022 and the Audience award at Seminci.

In 2023 Alicia co-produced Tomas Vengris’ highly anticipated second feature, FIVE AND A HALF FILMS IN AN APARTMENT IN VILNIUS, LITHUANIA. The film premiered at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2023 where it won Best Film in the ‘Rebel With A Cause’ section.

Tiger Darling is in the final stages of development with their next feature, ANIMA, a gripping psychological thriller also to be directed by Michael Kinirons. They also have a number of other projects in active development including THIS YEAR’S MODEL, a low-fi sci-fi about a care android on the run in rural Ireland; and THE PRETENDER, an ambitious historical television series with renowned UK TV director Philip John (DOWNTON ABBEY) attached as lead director. This project was selected for Torino Film Lab’s prestigious Series Lab and is currently out to market.

Tiger Darling operates in a manner that promotes sustainability and inclusion among its personnel and across all its processes. In particular this means that the company considers the environmental and societal impact of its actions in all decision-making and will seek to grow a company built to thrive in the long-term. In short, the business seeks to grow by equally prioritising people, planet and profit.
