An emerging Northern Irish director with a passion for horror, comedy, and drama. From 2016-2021, Peter studied BA and MA Film at Queen’s University Belfast, and over the last 6 years he's amassed a range of shorts funded by several prominent arts organisations, including Screen Ireland, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, and NI Screen.
His work has won awards at RTS and GAZE and has featured in prestigious festivals such as Foyle Film Festival. He has recently begun development on a debut feature with Belfast-based production company Village Films.
This story is dedicated to my Grandfather. When I was a child, Granda Kevin told me all sorts of ghost stories, with his favourite being about a banshee that appeared to our family in Annalong, near the Mourne Mountains. The tale stuck with me, and I wanted to record it in some way, which is where this short came from. He passed away just before I got to show him the film, but he was very excited that I was basing a story on him.
