With the rise and rise of Irish and Northern Irish production, and audiences becoming more diverse and disparate, including audiences in the development process is becoming more and more important. 
 
We were therefore delighted to grab a chat with 'Audience Design with Síle Culley', a Dublin based consultancy helping independent producers and established production companies identify potential audiences for their films and the positioning of their projects in the ever-competitive marketplace.
 
We discussed Síle's background in distribution, and how her work in that area spurred her on to develop Audience Design and the kind of work she does with producers and screen agencies to embed audiences into the development process.

For this podcast Hugh and Sara are joined by two experts in evaluation to break it all down into manageable and simple terms. From the perspective of the Film Audience Network, Andy Rae (Film Hub Midlands) and on a wider basis, Andi Jarvis (eximo marketing) chat through what useful data to collect, how to get it, how to avoid drowning in it and how to use it meaningfully to benefit your organisation.

The book analyses in detail the decline of cinema from its post war height to the new realities brought on by social and demographic change. Focusing on Belfast and Sheffield, it's an expert guide that sees cinema grapple with a changing world and competing attractions for audiences.

We talk about technology, programming and pandemics, and we are very grateful very much for Sam's time.
