SLUDGE was filmed in Dundalk with support from An Táin Arts Centre, DKIT and funding granted by arts officer Moya Hodges, Louth County Council. Sinéad was delighted to have had this support and the local support from business and the wider community. SLUDGE is currently in post production, Sinéad intends to apply for completion funding from Screen Ireland in the coming months.

Sinéad has several feature film scripts that she is currently developing and intends to begin writing during her residency with the intention of pitching to Production companies and Screen Ireland in the summer of 2025.

I am deeply grateful to have been granted the artist residency with An Táin. This will provide me with an invaluable opportunity to develop a new feature film script and experiment with my writing as well as an exciting chance to mingle with other artists and be inspired by their experiences.
