The company is currently developing a distinct body of work, and building a reputation for high-quality, author-driven creative films. Its slate encompasses both fiction and documentary – with a mission to deliver innovative and vital work from both emerging and established talent, and to produce work regionally on the island of Ireland.

Little Rose Films’s first release was the award-winning short film THE PASSION (2021, dir. Mia Mullarkey), garnering nominations for an Independent Film & Television Awards (IFTA) award for Best Short Film, and numerous other recognitions and wins. The company’s debut feature film is SUNLIGHT (2023, dir. Claire Dix), produced in association with Keeper Pictures. Funded under the Screen Ireland POV Female Creative Talent Scheme, Sunlight had its cinema release in the UK and Ireland in June 2023, and has since screened at numerous international film festivals across North America, Europe, Australia, and South America. 

Current films in production include the feature documentaries BEYOND THE FOLD (2024, dir. Ross McClean) and NO PLACE LIKE HOME (2024, dir. Myrid Carten). Projects currently in development with Screen Ireland include fiction feature films A MEANS TO AN END, an ecological drama written and directed by Niamh Heery; and A HIDDEN PEARL, a folk horror genre film written and directed by Mark Noonan.

Little Rose Films is based in County Mayo, Ireland

Watch: Film as the Empathy Machine | Roisín Geraghty | TEDxTrinityCollegeDublin (2019)

My objective as a film programmer is to engage audiences in narratives that not only entertain but that illuminate and that allow people to forge an emotional connection and go beyond their experience of life.
