Delighted to win a GOLD Shark Award at the Shark Awards Kinsale at the weekend for Moth! It won Best Irish Short on the night. Big congrats to writer/director Allyn Quigley!

Our feature horror film 'Double Blind' was presented to over 450 Industry professionals at the Frontieres International Co-Production Market last week in Montréal, where it went down a storm! We had a great time at the market- 60 meetings in 4 days was an INTENSE but invaluable experience! We can't wait to get this bad boy on the screen!

Moth will have its World Premiere tomorrow at the Galway Film Fleadh! Screening at 10am tomorrow as part of New Shorts 2: https://www.galwayfilmfleadh.com/project/irish-talent-new-shorts-2-fiction/

Our feature film 'Double Blind' has been chosen to take part in the Frontières International Co-Production Market in Montreal in July.

Over the course of 4 days, the Frontières International Co-Production Market presents 20 projects in development (10 European and 10 North American) which are presented to a large and diverse group of prominent industry professionals (producers, financiers, sales agents, distributors).

The 20 Official Selection projects participate in an opening pitch session to the 450 industry professionals in attendance, who then meet one-on-one with the projects via a meeting scheduling service.

It's a huge honour to be selected, and an exciting next step for our horror/thriller 'Double Blind'.

Thanks to Film Ireland for reviewing our new Screen Ireland short film Low Tide! Looking forward to sharing this film with more audiences in 2019!

Happy New Year folks! 2018 was a good year for Failsafe. We officially launched our sister company Strangelove and produced two Screen Ireland films 'Low Tide' and 'The Trap' which premiered at the Cork Film Festival in November. But 2019 is shaping up to to be even better!

We're producing a new short film later this month- 'Moth' directed by Allyn Quigley; our feature film 'Double Blind' is in development with Screen Ireland, and Paddy Slattery's debut feature film 'Let Your Guard Down' is in post-production. So lots of exciting things to come!
