Execution is Everything
Preparation for National Cinema Day 2023 got off to a great start this week with the news that Barbie has become the highest grossing film in Irish Box Office history, as reported by IFTN, while the legendary David Fincher released the gorgeous - hand drawn - poster for his up & coming The Killer which will premiere on Netflix November 10, 2023 after being released in select cinemas throughout October. The Killers stars Ireland's Michael Fassbender.
Our very own Fionan Higgins MPSE & Mark Henry mixed ADR on this thriller and we can hardly wait to catch it on our screens come Autumn. Check out the trailer and view full poster below.

New Hire
Emily Rabbette recently joined the Windmill Lane team working alongside the incredible Gina Brady in making everything tick around here at 29 Herbert Street. She has this to say about her move:
I grew up in Dublin and I study Cinema at NYU. I have always enjoyed learning about the different, expansive sides of the film industry. My practical knowledge has expanded so much at Windmill Lane where people are so open and excited to help you learn about their specialization.
The Killer
We have invested quite a lot into our audio facilities in the last 12 months. Read two recent articles that cover this in more detail; 1. here & 2. here.
And a good thing we did when we are dealing with the likes of David Fincher, Michael Fassbender & Netflix.
Kudus to our own Fionán Higgins & Mark Henry & roll on October 🙌
