Five new original dramas have been launched this week by RTÉ and the Irish Film Board for the new season of Storyland, a commissioning platform to identify new and emerging creative talent in Ireland.

Showcasing an eclectic range of creative talent, the five new dramas are to be shown nationally and internationally on the Storyland hub on RTÉ Player www.rte.ie/storyland brings new talent and stories to audiences.

Kicking off this week on Monday, January 19th, a new series will be released on RTÉ Player each Monday over the next five weeks. The first series to be released this week is ‘Burning Wishes’, a black comedy about death, friendship and grave-robbing by Deadpan Pictures.’

David Crean, Executive Producer for RTÉ Television said: ‘RTÉ dramas such as ‘Love/Hate’, ‘Amber’ and ‘Charlie’ demonstrate the insatiable appetite for great Irish drama. So we are excited to bring the new season of Storyland to audiences both nationally and internationally through RTÉ Player with five wholly original dramas and comedies for audiences to get engrossed in.’

Crean went on to say: ‘Across writing, acting and directing, Storyland showcases the great breadth of Ireland’s creative talent and has proven to be a hugely important commissioning platform for RTÉ and the Irish Film Board to build working relationships with new and emerging creative entrepreneurs for the TV and film industry in Ireland.’

James Hickey, Chief Executive of the Irish Film Board said: ‘The Irish Film Board is happy to have participated for the first time in the Storyland project. Supporting new and emerging talent in storytelling through the medium of television drama enables us to assist in the development of the careers of writers, directors, producers, actors and other creative personnel working on these projects. This is to the long term benefit of both the Irish Film Board and RTÉ in the area of feature film and television drama production. We look forward to the growth in the strength and depth of that talent with the benefit of experience of working on Storyland.’

Close to 200 aspiring and experienced drama production teams pitched their ideas to make a series for Storyland. Five production companies across Ireland won commissions to create five original dramas (4 x 6 minute web episodes) to be shown on RTÉ Player.
