This week came the announcement of a US production to begin filming their first series here in Limerick at Troy Studios. This comes on the back of a successful pilot which was produced at Troy Studios in 2023. Stephen Hall, was a graduate of the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme at LSAD, TUS and is one of the producers of the programme. Paul C.Ryan, Film in Limerick Coordinator, explains more about this
As The Wayfinders begins filming at Troy Studios, Limerick and at locations in the region, we look back at the filming of the pilot episode.
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.”
With pre-production already underway, filming is set to begin later this month. Further announcements regarding casting and release dates are expected in the coming weeks.

ROMANTICHEby Pilar Fogliati:
Rome and its surroundings serve as the backdrop for the hilarious adventures of four different girls, all played by actress and first-time director Pilar Fogliati. Despite their differences, both in social class and geographical origin, the girls are all linked by a romantic soul that will lead them to cross their destinies. A hilarious debut feature that won 1 Nastro d’Argento and 2 Globo d’Oro 2023 – TRAILER
We regret to inform you that, due to technical difficulties, we are unable to screen ‘Parthenope’ by Paolo Sorrentino. Instead, we will be showing 2024 box office success, ‘Diamanti’ by Ferzan Özpetek. Below is a brief synopsis of the film:
A film director gathers his favourite actresses, those he worked with and those he loved. He wants to make a film about women but he doesn’t reveal much: he observes them, takes cue, until his imaginary throw them into another era, in a past where the noise of the sewing machines fills a workplace handled and populated by women, where men have minor and marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: the one of costume. Between loneliness, passions, anxieties, heartbreaking absence and unbreakable bonds, reality and fiction permeate, as well as the lives of the actresses and those of the characters, the competition and the sisterhood, the visible and the invisible – TRAILER
SATURDAY, 29th March
4 pm– ‘Real’ by Adele Tulli, Documentary, 2024 (83’)
6.30 pm – ‘Gloria!’ by Margherita Vicario, Drama, 2024 (108’)
REALby Adele Tulli:
“Real” is a kaleidoscopic and immersive audiovisual journey that explores what it feels like to be human in the digital age. After an acclaimed world premiere at the latest Locarno Film Festival, it won the Jury Prize at the Villa Medici Film Festival, dedicated to the relationship between cinema and contemporary arts – TRAILER
GLORIA! by Margherita Vicario:
The year is 1800; the place, Sant Ignazio College, a decrepit old musical institute for girls, somewhere near Venice. Here lives “the Mute”, a silent, solitary maid tasked with the humblest chores. No one knows that her name is Teresa; no one suspects that she possesses an extraordinary talent that enables her to sense the harmony of the universe and reshape reality through music – TRAILER
The main event is on Friday (28th) with Festival opening reception and the screening of the film ‘Diamanti’by Ferzan Özpetek.There will be refreshments and live music!
