The death of distinguished Irish film producer James Flynn has been confirmed. He was credited on such significant projects as Angela’s Ashes, Veronica Guerin and Calvary and The Banshees of Inisherin
“He made massive contributions to the industry at the Film Board, as a member of Screen Producers Ireland and as a producer.”
It was during this period that the seeds were sewn for the industry’s current conspicuous success. He and Morgan O’Sullivan, a true veteran of Irish TV and cinema, worked together on large international television productions such as The Tudors, The Borgias and Penny Dreadful. A whole generation of Irish professionals, both in front and behind the camera, gained vital experience on those shows.
Flynn was a board member of the Screen Commission of Ireland from 1997 to 2000 and of Screen Training Ireland from 1995 to 2000. In a statement, Metropolitan Film said: “All of us in Metropolitan Films are deeply saddened by the passing of our esteemed founder, colleague and great friend James Flynn, who departed peacefully on Saturday morning with his wife Juanita Wilson and children Alex and Anna by his side.
