Dublin industry comes of age - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety:
Charlotte Kelly
"The decision by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates to open a Dublin office, headed by senior agent Charlotte Kelly, is a sign that the Irish film and TV community has come of age.

Casarotto is one of London's top boutiques for directors and writers, and already reps some of Ireland's highest-profile talents, including Neil Jordan, Damien O'Donnell, John Carney, Lenny Abrahamson and Mark O'Halloran. Kelly says her move to Dublin was driven not just by the strength of the agency's existing Irish roster but the upsurge of new talent coming out of the Emerald Isle."
