Since its inception in 2009, Storyland has acted as a launchpad for Irish writing, directing, producing, and acting talent throughout Ireland to develop and further their careers.
Teeing up what's ahead in Shush, Storyland said: "Ruth's love for baby Fia is undeniable. But under the strain of loneliness and a difficult domestic existence, Ruth impulsively makes a drastic decision to set off with the baby, without telling anyone.
"Shush is a tense psychological thriller that asks how far we would go to keep our loved ones close, and who can we really trust?
"Starring and written by Liv O'Donoghue, Shush is produced by Jo Halpin for Charmer Pictures and directed by Jane Moriarty. Starring Mark Huberman in the role of John and twins Bella and Capri Neville in the role of baby Fia.
"In I'm Yours, airing Thursday 7 November, Zo is a high-flying solicitor in Ireland's top law firm, but she's harbouring a secret: she's engaged to a man she's never met, who her Pakistani parents have picked.
"When Zo's colleagues spot her engagement ring, her Pakistani and Irish identities collide.
"Zo is vague on details, but with decision time fast approaching, Zo decides to break with tradition and meet her fiancé before they get married.
"Will the man of her dreams live up to Zo's expectations... or will he be himself?
"This fresh, funny drama is an exploration of modern romance, with the weight of inherited cultural tradition.
"I'm Yours is written by Diandra Xavier and directed by Laura O'Shea for Deadpan Pictures. Starring Jeffrin Jerome (Zo), Clara Harte (Oonagh), Trevor Kaneswaran (Bilal), Paul Tylak (Zo's dad Ali), and Bharti Patel (Zo's mum Fatima).
