In the latest episode of the State of the Arts podcast (@sotapod), filmmaker and writer Des Doyle sits down with executive producer, director and writer Neasa Hardiman to discuss her expansive career across feature film and television, and her transition to working on large-scale, big-budget streamer projects. Produced in partnership with Film Ireland and supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland through the Screen Stakeholders Funding Scheme, the State of the Arts series explores the creative processes, industry challenges, and new opportunities that both Irish and international creatives face in today’s ever-evolving artistic landscapes. In this conversation, Neasa reflects on her journey honing her craft, developing her debut feature, and stepping into directing on a major Netflix project. She and Des also pay tribute to Rob Reiner, discussing the lasting legacy of his work and its influence on contemporary storytelling. Drawing on her unique experience working across the Atlantic, Neasa shares insight into navigating the industry between Ireland and the US, and the creative advantages - and opportunities - of operating in both worlds.
