Kite Studios opens officially next month, with a 9000 sq ft sound stage with office, and hair & makeup facilities.
Based at Woodstock Business Park in Kilcoole, the new studio space has been set up by Phillip Murphy of Celtic Grips Europe Ltd. All staff vacancies have been filled and the studio is managed by Jason Foran and his team.
Phillip Murphy told IFTN, “By setting up Kite Studios, I aim to fulfil the need in the Irish film industry for a prestigious, contemporary film studio that has the advantage of sharing a site with companies such as Teach Solais, Celtic Grips and Movie Innovations.”
Jason Foran, who is managing the facility, said, “With the lack of sound stage & studio space in Ireland we felt there was a need for something new. Our combined knowledge & experience has enabled us to deliver a very unique facility“
Kite had it’s first commercial in last week for a two day shoot, Cashmere Media were shooting the Littlewoods Autumn Winter commercial for DDFH&B.
The Studios will open officially next month – full details as they become available.
