Production Company Profile
Cowtown Pictures is very excited to participate in the Screen Forever Co-Production Forum. We hope it will provide an opportunity to connect with Australian producers who we can build meaningful creative partnerships with. In particular, we are currently developing a television series, supported by Screen Ireland, that we envisage as an Ireland-Australia co-productions. We are also seeking feature films and television series that we can act as Irish co-producers on.
