Originally from Cork, Damian O’Callaghan has lived in Killarney for the past 21 years. He worked as a Jarvey in The Killarney National Park for most of that time.
Damian trained as a actor at The Bricriú Theatre Company alongside Donal Courtney and Michael Fassbender. In 1991, he wrote his first play ”Tradition” for The Bricriú, which he directed and starred in.
Damian took some time out of acting and directing in 2002 to complete a Business Degree at The Shannon College of Hotel Management. After graduating with honours, he set up OC Productions and wrote and directed the play ‘Let’s be Frank’, which was shown in Tralee’s Síamsa Tíre National Theatre.
Making the move from stage to screen, he then produced the short film ‘Bouncers’, which was in the official selection of The Cork and Kerry film festivals.
The Gift’ Damian’s debut feature film headlined The Kerry Film Festival before it was released in cinemas nationwide in April 2017. It was then screened on RTE in 2018.
In 2018 Damian produced and directed his second feature film ''Tradition '' which won best film at The Wexford film festival. It was also the opening feature of The Kerry Film Festival where it was critically acclaimed. After a successful festival run Tradition was acquired for a worldwide distribution deal where it is currently available on all popular streaming channels.
The aim of OC Productions’ is to create professional and artistic feature films, shorts, advertisements, trailers, corporate content and music videos. We strive to produce entertaining, provoking and moving film from script to screen that inspire audiences around the world.
