A recent graduate of mine from the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme, Katie Quirke, also gave me a direct insight to the challenges and how things can be improved for editors with disabilities. This article and many others are now available to read from the ISE website HERE or by clicking the image above. Special thanks to Katie for allowing me to tell some of her story and to Shane Woods ISE for asking me to contribute to this issue.

Film in Limerick is proud to welcome back a major international production as filming begins on the epic fantasy series, The Wayfinders, at Troy Studios and on location throughout the region.
Set in a richly imagined world of myth, magic, and ancient conflict, The Wayfinders follows a band of unlikely heroes as they journey through a fractured realm in search of unity, purpose, and power. Featuring immersive storytelling, striking visuals, and a cast of both rising stars and familiar faces, the series promises to captivate fans of high fantasy worldwide.
Pre-production is now underway in Limerick, following the successful filming of the pilot episode in the region in October 2023. The pilot starred Mackenzie Crook (The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean) and was directed by Glen Winter (Smallville, Arrow, The Flash).
The production, from US-based Arrowstorm, and Limerick’s Dark Day Pictures, is expected to generate hundreds of local jobs and bring significant economic impact to the area.
Producer Stephen Hall of Dark Day Pictures added:
“We’re thrilled to bring The Wayfinders Season 1 back to Limerick and the region. As a Limerick local, it’s so exciting to be making our magical show in the region and putting our wonderful locations and talented crew front and center, on the world stage. The support from the councils, businesses and the community has been incredible. We have so much to offer in the Midwest, it’s quite special to build the film community here with the help of Film In Limerick and the talent of the local crew.”
