The Ireland Funds is a global philanthropic network, supporting peace, culture, education, and community development across Ireland and Irish communities worldwide.
For their 50th anniversary, they wanted a landmark video piece to celebrate the past and inspire the future. I scripted it, built the production team, and worked with Olivia O’Leary on the voiceover. A complex piece to make, given the huge mix of community voices, organisations, and fifty years of work to draw from.
The film premiered at the Ireland Funds’ New York gala to a thundering response.

"Gary, working with you on this project has been a total pleasure, from inception, to script development, to you immersing yourself in our archives. It has been a wonderful experience. Thank you and the team for your professionalism, creativity, and patience."
