The crews there are top notch, the scenery is spectacular and the people are so generous and warm-spirited. Over the course of two summers I had the privilege of making two films, "Laws of Attraction" and "The Honeymooners" there. I now consider Dublin my second home and I look forward to coming back." David Friendly, Producer - The Honeymooners, Laws of Attraction David Friendly "PURE MULE supported by RTE was shot totally on location in County Offaly on High Definition and using local services and talent wherever possible. Eugene O'Brien's scripts have given a new voice to modern rural Ireland. And not only has it proved a major hit with Irish viewers, it has also attracted significant international interest. David Collins, Producer - “Pure Mule” Accomplice Television David Collins "I was incredibly fortunate working on location in Ireland for the first time to have had a great AD, an astonishingly resourceful camera and lighting crew and a very efficient production office all of whom literally made the impossible possible."

Spreag Teo, the production company cooperated with TG4 and Údarás na Gaeltachta to train local new writers and technicians as part of the production of the first series. Some of these trainees are now working as writers and technicians on the second series. In an area suffering from the recent downturn in manufacturing this new initiative is of tremendous economic and cultural benefit. Seán Mac Fhionnghaile, Executive Producer - Fiosruchan Faoi Cheilt (F.C.C) Seán Mac Fhionnghaile "It is great to see RTE working with independent producers on challenging, high quality drama for Irish audiences that can compete internationally and we look forward to similar collaborations in the future." Dominic Wright, Executive Producer - “Proof Series 2” Subotica Entertainment Dominic Wright "We've been involved in a number of film and television projects over the last 12 months of different budget ranges and genres. What I continue to be struck by is the depth of talent here in terms of crew and cast which are undoubtedly world class. Its particularly gratifying when we work with directors and financiers from abroad who also share this view."
