Co-founded by writer/director/editor Allyn Quigley and creative producer Aisling Malone, we’ve produced a range of short films and music videos, and are now developing an exciting slate of debut feature films.
In 2024, producer Lorraine Higgins joined the team, and since then, she and Malone have collaborated on three funded short films through the Kildare Short Grass Film Bursary, Screen Ireland’s Focus Short Scheme, and the DLR First Frames Fund — all set to premiere this year. Together, they’ve also been selected for two major feature development programmes: X-Pollinator’s Incubator 2.0 with writer/director Ayla Amano, and Screen Ireland’s Perspectives Scheme with writer/actor Clare Monnelly.
As a team, we’re driven by a love of collaboration, a deep respect for everyone involved in the creative process and a commitment to building a more sustainable, inclusive, and diverse screen industry. We champion working with kind, talented people, and we value input at every level — from emerging voices to seasoned crew.

WHO WE ARE

>>

Allyn Quigley is an Irish filmmaker and co-founder of Rye Films. He has directed a number of award-winning short films, music videos, and commercials, with work screening at festivals worldwide.
His film Moth won Best Irish Short at the Kinsale Shark Awards, and Yellow Belt, funded by Screen Ireland, earned him Best Director at the Cork International Film Festival and received multiple awards.
As an editor, he has worked on acclaimed Irish features including Lakelands, which won Best Irish Film at the Galway Film Fleadh, and Christy, winner of the Grand Prix of the Generation 14plus Jury at the 2025 Berlinale.

Ais is a creative producer with a background in film and advocacy, committed to supporting distinctive voices and inclusive storytelling.
Since 2018, she has produced award-winning short films and music videos, and in 2025 was selected—alongside producing partner Lorraine Higgins—for Screen Ireland’s Perspectives scheme and X-Pollinator’s Incubator 2.0.
She is currently developing multiple debut features. Malone also works with Raising Films Ireland, advocating for carers and parents in the industry, and is pursuing a PhD at TU Dublin focused on building a more caring, diverse, and sustainable screen sector.

Lorraine Higgins is a producer, problem-solver, and story-first operator who believes fiercely in the power of collaboration and a well-timed spreadsheet. With a decade of hands-on experience in the Irish screen industry, she brings empathy, drive and a deep understanding of crew life to every project she champions.
Since teaming up with producing partner Ais Malone (aka Malone), Lorraine has helped drive a slate of bold, character-led short films supported by Screen Ireland, DLR First Cuts, and the Kildare Short Grass Film Fund.
In 2025, the pair were selected for Screen Ireland’s Perspectives feature development scheme and X-Pollinator’s Incubator 2.0, and are currently developing multiple debut features with a range of exciting Irish talent.
Lorraine also runs Crew Academy West with the National Talent Academies, supporting crew training and progression across the west of Ireland. Her work consistently centres on building more sustainable, inclusive, and supportive environments for both emerging and established talent.
She’s here for the bold stories and the smaller ones too. She believes the best productions are the ones where everyone feels like they belong.
