Irelands first combined film production and photography company!

Cinekill was established in April 1998 when photographer Lisa Carville and film-maker Paula Crickard decided to combine their skills to form the first company in Ireland to offer both photographic and film production services.

During the past five months the film department of Cinekill has produced "The John T.One" 8 minute short directed by Paula Crickard, are in post - production with "Lenscap" 6 minute short directed by Naimbh O'Sullivan and are in development with a 38 minute documentary for Channel 4 called "Odd Man Out". The photography department has done publicity stills for six short films including "Fatal Extraction" for Besom Productions and "The John T. One", and are currently working on a feature film for RTE called "Wild Horses". Cinekill photography also freelance for the fortnightly magazine "That's Entertainment" and have worked on portraits, portfolio shots, advertising features and concerts.

Before they set up Cinekill, Lisa and Paula were freelancing in their respective trades for ten and seven years. During this time they travelled the world through New York, Montreal, Sydney, Singapore and many more, both having lived in London for several years. They returned to Belfast because they felt that this was the place to utilise their experience and hopefully help Northern Ireland rebuild itself after so many destructive years.

At their pre launch in June, Paula and Lisa announced that Cinekill would challenge the stereotypes world media has so often portrayed as Northern Irish society. Cinekill would promote women's issues and minority issues in the commercial market, with competitive programmes and encouraging more women to enter the film industry.
