Hello

Causeway Pictures Limited is an independent film and television production company based in Belfast, founded in 2009. The company develops and produces film, television, audio, and factual work for the UK and international markets. Much of the work is rooted in Northern Ireland, but the outlook is always outward. The focus is on strong stories, clear delivery, and long term creative partnerships. 

 

The company culture is built around people and curiosity. Causeway Pictures actively supports new talent, on screen and behind the camera, with a particular focus on Northern Ireland. The team works closely with schools, colleges, and universities to help new entrants gain access to the industry. Learning does not stop once someone is established. Continued development, mentoring, and reskilling are integral to the company's operations. Sets are run to be friendly, professional, and safe. That approach brings experienced crew back, even on lower budget projects, because they feel respected and valued. The aim has always been simple. Enjoy the work. Let that enjoyment show in the final result.

 

Causeway Pictures balances creative ambition with practical delivery. The company understands how to work within UK and Northern Ireland funding structures while keeping a clear focus on audience and outcome. Projects are supported from development through to delivery by producers who stay close to the detail. Partners know where they stand. Communication stays open. Problems get solved early rather than late.

 

The company is led by founder and producer Chris Patterson. Chris is a Belfast-based producer with more than 20 years of experience in film and television. Before founding Causeway Pictures, he held senior production roles on large-scale international features. That background shaped how the company plans, shoots, manages budgets, and takes care of crews. As a producer, Chris has developed and delivered projects supported by UK and Irish industry bodies, with work reaching festivals, broadcasters, and global platforms. Alongside production, he remains closely involved in training, mentoring, and industry development.

 

Causeway Pictures works best as a collaborative partner. It suits filmmakers and companies that value a clear process, straight talk, and shared responsibility. The Northern Ireland base offers deep regional knowledge, supported by international connections built over time. The company brings structure and calm to projects, while staying open to new voices and ideas.

 

Causeway Pictures is a focused, producer-led company rather than a large-volume studio. This keeps decision making close to the creative and protects quality. Capacity is managed carefully so projects and people get the attention they deserve. Clear expectations support sustainability, especially on tighter budgets. The long view matters. Look after people. Do the work properly. Make projects that everyone involved feels proud to put their name on.
