Writer Statement

In Football Fairy, I bring together two contrasting worlds—football and Irish dance—to explore masculinity, self-discovery, and acceptance. I aim to create moments of unspoken emotion where a glance or pause says more than words.

I write with a focus on authenticity and visual storytelling, balancing emotional depth with humor and energy. My goal is to craft stories that resonate with audiences through relatable characters and universal themes.
