Karla's creative talents continue to shine in Kinsale

“My background is embedded in storytelling,”  says Karla Goodman of Made to Measure Films, who went from acting and directing into film and TV production

Sometimes the same creative streak born in one generation successfully morphs into the next. Karla Goodman is living proof of this — an actress, producer and director who remembers the alluring whirr of active film stock from a very early age. 

“Dad made amateur family cine-movies when we were young. I remember around the age of seven helping, as his assistant editor, cutting, splicing and gluing the Super 8 film in the basement of our home in Sussex. Writing short stories and attending drama club at school, storytelling became a really important part of my identity. Though I didn’t have any idea at the time, it probably encouraged me to do what I’m doing today.”
