ABOUT

In April 2022, Patricia found the courage to invite volunteers to collaborate in the production of Mayennie, her award-winning animation screenplay, written in 2018. The idea for Mayennie came from her children's book, Pink And The Hair Thief, which launched successfully in 2018 and became a favourite of the school children she met through library visits and at various reading events in her community. Suffice it to say their feedback contributed to the writing of Mayennie.

The production, with zero funding in place, meant that Patricia was not only the writer but assumed the roles of General Administrator, Manager, Producer and First Director. Within hours of posting her invite on the local I-VOL.ie website, ensuring the ad was available in all the counties listed, there was an enquiry. And so beginneth the gathering for the Virtual Film Production Team..

The MAYENNIE team comprise artists from Ireland, the U.K., Europe, the U.S., Asia, and Africa. They include Students, recent Graduates, and Professional artists working remotely from Berlin, India, Egypt, Netherlands, various Counties across Ireland and further afield, all contributing voluntarily.

Patricia decided on an animation production, believing it was the perfect medium for her story due to the marvel of the characters and the magical environment in which the story unfolds, making it ideal.

The team are working on a short teaser trailer for Mayennie. Patricia hopes to have the teaser ready by the end of 2025. She looks forward to the opportunity to pitch Mayennie in the coming years to sponsors and partners nationally and internationally for collaborative experiences for the team and to form partnership/s to complete the movie production of Mayennie.

Patricia is deeply honoured and immensely grateful to be a part of such an incredible group of volunteers who believe in her work. It is a team effort supported by countless people who encouraged, contributed and became a part of this international, multicultural workforce. She looks forward to the completion of Mayennie and thanks her team for their hard work and perseverance toward the goals they all shared when they started on this journey.
