Two of the production companies behind the breakout success, Kneecap, have cemented their relationship leading to an expansion of DMC’s office in Ireland. Fine Point Films has taken a strategic stake in DMC's Dublin enterprise, DMC Film.
The move between Fine Point Films, headed by Trevor Birney and DMC, co-founded by Michael Fassbender, Conor McCaughan and Daniel Emmerson marks a significant step forward in the respective companies’ growing creative and commercial relationship.
Tamryn Reinecke of Robin Fox Productions has joined the venture as a Dublin-based Executive Producer and will support the company’s expanding Irish development slate and manage the company's international production partnerships.
The investment from Fine Point Films into DMC Film will expand their capacity and is expected to accelerate the slate of upcoming projects, and expand both companies’ reach in the Irish and global markets, combining their expertise across the increasingly frequent shared island productions.
DMC recent hits include SXSW breakout LifeHack by Irish filmmaker Ronan Corrigan, BAFTA and Sundance winner, Kneecap, global Netflix hit The Kitchen, BAFTA nominated Sundance winner Scrapper and the multiple BAFTA nominated Irish Co-Production Calm With Horses. Birney has produced a wide range of high-profile documentaries and films, including Saipan (2025), Kneecap (2024), Let the Canary Sing (2023) and No Stone Unturned (2017).
Up next Trevor Birney is producing Rich Peppiatt’s Bad Bridgets. Reinecke’s credits include Paramount+ thriller The Day (2026) starring Minnie Driver, Channel 4 drama Hunting Alice Bell (2026) by David Baddiel, SXSW Special Jury Award winner It Is In Us All (2024) and Galway Film Fleadh Best Film winner Redemption of a Rogue (2022).
Michael Fassbender, Daniel Emmerson, Conor McCaughan, CEOs of DMC, welcomed the partnership as a transformative moment for the company:
“Irish stories and storytelling has been at the heart of what we’ve built at DMC. We are extremely excited to be ramping up our production capacity in Ireland with the help of Tamryn and Trevor whose taste and instincts are a perfect fit for us."
Trevor Birney, Managing Director, Fine Point Films said:
“We’ve long admired what the team at DMC have been building, and this partnership felt like a natural next step. The Dublin office gives us a stronger footprint across the island and a bigger canvas for both companies. Ireland’s film and television industry, north and south, has captured global attention due to the distinctiveness of the work, driven by a combination of creative momentum, strategic investment, and a new confidence in the stories emerging from the island.”
He added: “Ireland has built a production ecosystem that rivals far larger markets, with world-class crews, cutting-edge facilities, and a supportive funding landscape that continues to attract both international partners and home-grown innovators.”
Tamryn Reinecke, Executive Producer, DMC Entertainment said:
“Ireland is producing some of the most distinctive film and television work in the world right now, and there’s real momentum behind the industry both creatively and commercially. I’m excited to support DMC’s ambition to grow Ireland not just as an international production destination, but as a place to develop bold Irish stories that can travel globally."
