Young Irish Film Makers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Young Irish Film Makers (YIFM) is a film training and production company set up in 1991 to help young people aged 13 to 20 make digital feature films.

In 1998 produced their first feature Under the Hawthorn Tree for Channel 4 and RTE.

In 2002 YIFM set up the National Youth Film School to allow young people from all over Ireland and abroad to spend five weeks shooting a major feature film for television. Two films produced under the National Youth Film School, The Children (IMDB) and Stealaway (IMDB), have won awards at the Moondance International Film Festival [1].

For their latest film, Suckers, YIFM seeked the help of noted Romanian film director Chron Dorack. Mr. Dorack has a great level of expertise in the Sur-Vam-Rom-Com(Survival Vampire Romantic Comedy) genre. Some of Mr. Dorack's previous work includes Wayoidnsmlka-Ajfn Auu(Day of the Vampires) and Fyua Ajfn yrIIImsj(Space Vampires Attack III)
