About Feenish
Founded by James Kelly in 2001, Feenish Productions exists both to find and to create compelling, pertinent and compassionate stories of universal interest, and to deliver these stories to the largest possible viewership, nationally and internationally.
Our in-house team is available to work on all projects. Depending on the nature of each project, we may seek expertise from outside of Feenish, and in this capacity we have a record of working with some of the finest camera operators, editors and sound designers in the country.
