ABOUT / CONTACT
I am an award winning filmmaker with 10 years experience working in Film & TV in Ireland, UK & Germany. Currently a participant of the esteemed Torino Series Lab 2024. Read about it in Variety HERE. My feature The Dane and TV Show Goodnight Girl are currently in development with Screen Ireland (Ireland’s national funder). Both projects are in development with producer Maggie Ryan of Escape Pod Media.
I have 4 short films under my belt. My latest Screen Ireland short, Shadow, premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh. It has won multiple awards including the Special Mention Award at the Dublin Film Festival 2023 and Best Cinematography at FastNet Film Festival in 2023.
I have a unique and multidisciplinary vision through having worked in film, photography, theater and dance. I directed the film Everything Not Saved for Ireland’s national broadcaster RTÉ’s STORYLAND and had my previous short films HEN and Waiting on a Train selected for leading national and international film festivals. I am currently a multi-camera director on RTÉ’s longest-running TV series Fair City and BBC’s EastEnders.
