Tailored Films is an Irish cinema and television production company with 6 feature films and 10 TV series completed to date.[1]
The company was established in 2006 by National Film Graduates Ruth Treacy and Julianne Forde, with a TV slate initially focusing on live-action children's series for for the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ and a predominantly genre-skewed feature film slate.[2] In recent years, the company has become more eclectic in genre.
The company often co-produces with or arranges funding from Irish governmental organizations such as Screen Ireland,[3] Coimisiún na Meán,[4] and RTÉ,[5] as well as European funding bodies such as Creative Europe.[6]
Julianne is the daughter of Margaret Forde who was reported as being a follower of the Educo Cult's Tony Quinn.[7][8][9]
Martin Forde is Director of the Tony Quinn Health Shop network across Ireland. He also runs Quinn's Irish Health Culture Association which offers courses in Yoga and Ki Massage at the Eccles Street, Dublin, headquarters and the Irish Association of Holistic Medicine which sells diplomas in counselling and psychotherapy. His former wife, Margaret Forde, a psychotherapist, runs courses and lectures students who pay up to €3,000 for their qualification which is recognised by City and Guilds of London Institute. Quinn referred to her as "the Blessed Virgin." Both are said to be highly qualified and have worked around the clock for years earning little more than small wages. They have attended many of Quinn's seminars raising the money from their personal finances.
Martin Forde is a thin, pale young man who has done the 40 day Quinn fast. He says it did him a world of good. An economist, Martin lives in the commune with his wife Margaret, who is a guidance counsellor.
