About
The Company
Dave and Ambrose met towards the end of 2005 and, along with a number of other Dundalk based film-makers, began working together on the short film Echoes.
After that they collaborated with one another on a series of short films, before forming Squid Media in May 2007.
The Vision
Squid Media aim to make entertaining Films and TV. But what production company doesn’t have that aim?
To us, TV and Film are essentially escapism – a break from the real world. These are the kinds of things we like to make – genre films. Horrors like The Hollow Girl, Supernatural Thrillers such as Shackled, etc.
We want to tell the tales of interesting characters involved in well crafted and well written stories. We like doing this in a visually engaging way.
We also want to help revitalise Dundalk as the centre of the North-Eastern creative hub. So far this has meant shooting as much work as possible there and working with as many local cast and crew as we can find!
