Being a part of the same organisation as other professional Irish production companies is one of the largest benefits and it says something to those who maybe haven't heard of us yet.

Membership of SPI has taught us that the opportunities and challenges we face are not unique or special; we feel part of a shared enterprise that is the Irish film and TV industry. And we benefit from the shared professional experience of other producers and up- to-date intelligence on the industry provided by the SPI team.
