A NEW marketing platform, Independent Pictures, has been set up to help the international expansion of a group of companies engaged in TV and video production and post production.

The group, which employs 50 people, has five operating subsidiaries. They are Agtel Communications, Picture Company, Radius Television, Safinia, and After Dark Films.

Independent Pictures has opened a new headquarters in three adjoining buildings on Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin, on which £2.5 million was spent during refurbishment.
