Ep 251 Rebecca Bourke, IFTA Winning Producer of Wave

October 22, 2018

From a very young age Rebecca Bourke knew that she wanted to be in the film industry in some capacity. Her dad convinced her to give college a go as a backup plan, but stints working in Windmill Lane Studios and on the Late Late Show as a runner only served to affirm what she already knew - she was in the right place. Fast forward to 2018 and she is the founder and executive producer at Assembly, a production company based in Dublin, which is a one-stop shop for directors, photographers, illustrators and composers. She talks to Róisín about her work, why she is passionate about projects that make a difference to the world, working with Conor McGregor, her Oscar winning childhood friend and collaborator Benjamin Cleary and their IFTA winning project Wave, which had its world premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
