★GRACE O'MALLEY FILM PROJECT ★

★Oscar®-Nominated Kirsten Sheridan to Bring Ireland’s Famous Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley to the Big Screen★

Acclaimed Irish filmmaker Kirsten Sheridan has optioned Grace O'Malley – The Biography of Ireland's Pirate Queen by renowned biographer Anne Chambers. The feature film, supported by Screen Ireland, will be produced by Wild Atlantic Pictures in collaboration with Reclaim Entertainment Ventures (Los Angeles), with a targeted production start in 2026.

Academy Award® and Golden Globe nominated writer and producer Sheridan, whose recent work includes Lockerbie (Sky/Peacock) and the Writer’s Guild of America and IFTA-nominated Say Nothing (Hulu/Disney+), has been developing the feature/TV project with Chambers for some time.

The film will chronicle the extraordinary true story of Grace O’Malley culminating in her famous meeting with Queen Elizabeth I, the most powerful ruler in British history. When her youngest son is taken prisoner, Grace sails up the Thames to confront Queen Elizabeth directly. While perceived enemies, as women, while they question each other's identity, pierce each other's wounds, they win each other's respect and come together as equals to define, not just their nationality, but their most intimate selves.

“This is a deeply personal passion project for both Anne and myself,” said Sheridan. “Every Irish woman now knows Grace O’Malley’s story now thanks to Anne’s innovative biography. It is one of power, resilience, and rebellion. Grace O’Malley defied gender norms, social and political female bias, controlled her own destiny and won the respect of the most powerful woman in history.

Unlike traditional period dramas, Sheridan’s vision for the film is raw and contemporary, exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and gender with a fresh and provocative lens. The project will not only depict Grace’s legendary exploits but will also dive into her complex personal journey as a leader, mother and survivor.

“Giving new life to old fabrics ♻️”
I love using salvaged and recycled fabrics in my designs. It’s resourceful, sustainable, and each piece has its own story to tell. While, not every product lends itself to having recycled materials encorporated, I love to use them when possible. Have you ever seen my Fabric Card and Letter Sleeves? So vintage and romantic with ribbon ties, they're prfect for those who love to write cards and letters. They're made of recycled upholstery remnants from swatch books. I love richly patterned fabrics. Check them out through my link tree! [Link in Link tree]
