Tailored Films is an Irish cinema and television production company with 6 feature films and 10 TV series completed to date.[1]
The company was established in 2006 by National Film Graduates Ruth Treacy and Julianne Forde, with a TV slate initially focusing on live-action children's series for the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ and a predominantly genre-skewed feature film slate.[2] In recent years, the company has become more eclectic in genre.
The company often co-produces with or arranges funding from Irish governmental organizations such as Screen Ireland,[3] Coimisiún na Meán,[4] and RTÉ,[5] as well as European funding bodies such as Creative Europe.[6]
Tailored Films produced several live-action children's series for RTÉ before embarking on the larger scale Irish-Canadian-Belgian co-production Louise Lives Large; a young adult drama centered on a teenaged cancer survivor. [7] The series is RTÉ's biggest-ever drama commission for young people.[8] Louise Lives Large premiered on RTÉ in April 2024 and later became the number one show on Canadian station Family Channel.[9]
Tailored Films have also produced three series of German crime series Der Irland-Krimi with Good Friends Filmproduktions GmbH for ARD. The series is distributed by Beta Film and has proved popular with German audiences.[10] Der Irland-Krimi stars Grimme Prize winner Désirée Nosbusch as a criminal psychologist solving murder mysteries in a coastal Irish town.[11]
