Mbrella Films
Ireland Film Production Company
Ireland is best known for its rural landscapes, green rolling hills, and isolated castles. Film sets during an ancient period or films with a fantasy concept are best to shoot in Ireland. However, not all films have to fall upon those genres. Modern-day musical love stories like “Once” and “Sing Street” were filmed here by the Irish director John Carney. Other blockbuster-tier movies and series were filmed here as well. Some names to mention include: “Saving Private Ryan”, “Game of Thrones” and “Vikings”. Permitting process is not long as they’re a film-friendly country, it’ll usually take 1-2 weeks for our team to help get the approvals required for your production.
Ireland could be the perfect location for your film production. Now, imagine a rock castle environment like Winterfell in “Game of Thrones” that would look stunning in your film. Ireland has a vast range of productions for you to choose from whether you are looking for the right crew members, a TVC production, or a historical period-based architecture for your film based on a true story. Mbrella Films can also provide you with producers who have years of experience and are ready to get your film production done efficiently.

Filming Locations in Ireland
Ireland offers you a wide range of ambiances from the quiet peaceful nature sets in forests and hills to an urban crowded area that would match any need for any film production. Most of Ireland is either geographically mountains, fields, or even isolated castles. Therefore, a great country for any historical period sets and/or fantasy sets for blockbuster-tier productions.
Dublin
Dublin is a center for education, arts, culture, administration, and industrial businesses. It was listed as one of the top thirty cities in the world by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC). You can sense an old-school but still a modern country that would match your romantic-comedy production. If you remember the film “Once” this is the location where it took place, and another of John Carney’s film “Sing Street”.
The Dark Hedges
The Dark Hedges is known as The King Road in a phenomenal series “Game of Thrones” located in Antrim County, in the Northern part of Ireland. It’s perhaps the most famous filming location in Ireland.
The Skellig Islands
Welcome, to the training grounds of the Jedis! Skellig Island was used as the main location for Luke Skywalker’s training grounds in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” If your projects are related to nature, hiking, or vacation themed, we would recommend you consider this island.
The Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher were once used in the film “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. Even if your project isn’t magic related, we still recommend you consider this location, the view is breathtaking, and it would suit any type of film production.
Wicklow Mountain
Not far from Dublin, we get to Wicklow, a town that contains many ambiances you may need for your film no matter the genre & need of your production. The “Vikings” series took this place and turned back time to when it was still a barbaric time and age. Also, in the film “Braveheart” the plot of the story was about a Scottish War, but it was set in Ireland.
