State-of-the-art studio to focus on the South

A state-of-the-art film and television production studio has opened in Cork.

Studio 5108, based on the Monahan Rd, is one of the largest private facilities of its kind outside Dublin.

And its backers are hoping to attract TV production work like sitcoms, music video shoots, as well as national and international advertising agencies to shoot commercials for their global clients in Cork.
