Jo is an award-winning Irish director across Film and TV, based in England. Having directed numerous and critically acclaimed short films, through Directors UK she undertook shadow directing mentorships on the hit shows KILLING EVE for the BBC (under Jon East), and TRIGGER POINT for ITV (under Jennie Darnell) - on which she performed 2nd unit directing services. Most recently Jo completed two blocks on the long running BBC Series DOCTORS. She is now in post-production on her latest short film ECHO, which features experimental scenes shot underwater with Producing partner Pinewood Studios. As a very collaborative director, she has also developed a production slate of her own (under the banner Aston Productions, through which she has also produced much of her previous short form work).
Her original concept OLI has been optioned by Troy TV and her feature film LOYALTY won the JETS initiative for best UK territory film - it is now being put through the BFI process with interest from various sales and distribution agents.
Jo is part of the 2022|3 cohort of Female Founders run by Creative UK, as well as a voting member of BAFTA.
