Oliver McGoldrick grew up in the countryside outside Belfast, Northern Ireland and is currently an MFA Candidate at New York University's prestigious Graduate Film Program. Prior to moving to New York, he worked as an Emergency Medicine Doctor back in Ireland. His wealth of experience interacting with a broad spectrum of society has rooted his interest in examining how a person's situation and background interplay with their base human instincts to produce surprising and often darkly comedic results, even in the grimmest of circumstances. His previous work won the 2022 WMHT TV/Film Award.
