Director Statement

I’m originally from Newbridge County Kildare but right now in accommodation in Dublin. Cinema has been something that’s been part of my life ever since my dad first showed my brother and I star wars when we were very young, but I started taking this love more seriously when I turned fifteen and coerced some of my friends to star in a little short film I had planned.

Past that and coming up to today I’m a recent graduate student of Maynooth University where I completed a double major in media studies and marketing. I have already made attempts to get my foot in the door in the Irish screen industry. I have been successful in getting picked for the DIFF First Frame competition last year, a well as being shortlisted for the 2023 SMEDIAS best screenplay award. Both of these were huge honours especially getting them while still in college.
