In My Beginning Is My End

In My Beginning Is My End features a quintessential Irish wake. Rich in soundscape, this one-shot film contains a boldly experimental element by subverting the convention of montage, putting all focus on the deceased, rather than the family drama that surrounds it.

As a Catholic altar boy growing up in a small Irish village, I was present at countless wakes, witnessing both their customs and shenanigans. Now, as an ageing man, fearing the inevitable, I would like to show the audience my unique perspective of death and farewells with this film, through a darkly comic lens.
