History

Established in 1979.

Windmill Lane Pictures is the largest and longest established integrated film and television post production company in Ireland. WLP’s founding member and CEO James Morris also holds the post of Chairman of Bord Scannán na hÉireann/​The Irish Film Board and is on the boards of both the Dublin International Film Festival and the Board of IMRO, (the Irish Music Rights Organization). In 1990 he founded The Mill; a Film and TV Post Production Company in London and is also credited with leading the Windmill Consortium that was awarded the franchise to set up Ireland’s first Independent National Television TV3. Since opening its doors in 1979 many associate WLP with its rich history of music production in the 1980’s and its early association with U2, who recorded their first three albums in Windmill Lane. The music studios were sold by WLP in 1990 and moved to Ringsend Rd. Since then, WLP has become Ireland’s leading film, television, digital communications and creative services company.
