Record TV, film production year

THE Audiovisual Federation, which represents the film and animation sectors, said 2010 will be a record year for TV and film production in this country.

The federation’s 2010 review shows 257 productions were completed in Ireland in 2009, with a production value of €243.3 million. That represented a slight increase on 2008, but 2010 is set to be a record year, the review said

The federation reckons total production values are up 50% on 2009, with total output for this year worth €367m.
