It Came from Connemara

Roger Corman's Irish Film Studio

In the mid 1990's, Roger Corman, the legendary Hollywood B movie producer, opened a production studio in the west of Ireland. This is the man who launched the directorial careers of Coppola, Scorsese and Jonathan Demme, as well as introducing the world to Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper and Robert De Niro.

Over five years Corman's Irish company produced twenty feature films, with a largely Irish crew and a cast of Irish and Hollywood actors. Featuring extensive clips from those movies and exclusive interviews with Roger Corman, as well as members of the Irish cast and crew, this film captures the manic mayhem, controversy and behind the scenes shenanigans that came from Connemara during those five gloriously gruesome years.

Nominated for Best Documentary at the Irish Film and Television Awards.
