Thanks for visiting my site. You'll find clips and trailers of some of my films here. I direct both fiction and documentary film.
My first feature documentary BROKEN SONG was nominated for an IFTA and won the Audience Award and Discovery Award at Dublin International Film Festival.
SUNLIGHT, my first feature length narrative film premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2023. We won Best Film at the Austin International Film Festival 2023 and Best Debut Film at Braunschweig International Film Festival 2024.
Currently I’m in post production with INTO THIN AIR, an experimental narrative feature about an actress who disappears because of her irrelevance. I’m also in development on a new feature - an adaptation of a Karen Russel short story called ORANGE WORLD.
My documentary TRIBUTE: THE TERESA DEEVY STORY is available on the RTE player. I had the pleasure to work with performance artist Amanda Coogan on this documentary. Amanda sets out to create a work based on ballet written by forgotten Deaf playwright Teresa Deevy, which has never been performed before.
