What’s behind this remarkable success? The country’s competitive and stable tax incentive – a film and TV tax credit, also known as Section 481, and worth up to 32% of eligible Irish expenditure – certainly helps, as does its strong creative pro-filmmaking environment, and a supportive Irish Government. But what’s really been driving industry growth is a wealth of creative and highly entrepreneurial Irish film-making talent.
Among Irish film’s big success stories is Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon, producer of Oscar-nominated ‘Song of the Sea’. The business was founded in 1999 by Nora Twomey, Tomm Moore, and Paul Young, who met as animation students at college in Dublin
