Stooges Productions Limited is an Irish film and television production company established to develop and produce original scripted screen content for Irish and international audiences.

Formed by a team of filmmakers with experience across creative development, production, and financial management, the company operates with a development-first approach — placing emphasis on script development, early creative collaboration, and realistic production planning.

The company structure is designed to allow creative leadership while maintaining clear oversight of budgeting, scheduling, and compliance requirements relevant to Irish public funding, including Screen Ireland and Section 481 frameworks.

Stooges Productions aims to contribute to the Irish screen sector by supporting emerging creative voices, developing original IP, and producing work that reflects contemporary Irish experiences while remaining accessible to wider audiences.
