Company Description:

Hell's Kitchen was created in 1993 by Jim Sheridan and Arthur Lappin following up on their collaboration on "My Left Foot" in 1989 and "The Field" in 1990. Since its inception, Hell's Kitchen has, in conjunction with its production output, developed over 20 feature films with a view to producing three to five features annually. A long term relationship with Universal which ended in 2000 facilitated the building of a strong executive structure representing a very broad range of high quality production expertise. A wide range of creative and commercial relationships have been developed throughout the film world, but particularly in North America.

Hell's Kitchen is seeking opportunities to collaborate with international production companies on significant drama projects to be filmed in whole or in part in Ireland. Having produced films at every scale of budget up to US$40 million, Hell's Kitchen possesses the confidence and ability to supply a complete production support structure (creative, technical and financial) to foreign production companies working in Ireland.
