I don't want to make films, I need to
Liam Boland is a passionate writer-director, who's interests lie in making films about complex personal relationships to cater for audiences who want something to relate to. Having made his first independent short film at 17, Liam went on to win the "Best Film" award at NOISE Flicks Film Festival not seven months later. Since the beginning of 2021, he has been interviewed on both of Ireland's main evening news programmes and was nominated for the best cinematography award at Fresh Film Festival 2021. So far in his career, Liam's work has focused on the challenges that adolescents face in their day to day lives. Although he is interested in continuing to explore the coming of age genre to an even deeper extent, he is also excited to experiment with writing and directing different and more experimental pieces of work in the future.
At age 14, Liam joined a local film club where his potential was given the ability to grow and his skills develop. Now aged 21, he has a qualification in Television and Digital Film, and is currently attending the Institute of Art, Design and Technology to earn an honours bachelor degree in work relating to Film.
