I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I studied Graphic Design and Advertising, moving on to direct TV commercials, and youth programming for UK networks; BBC3, BBCNI and E4. My commercial work has been awarded in the UK and Ireland, initially as a student (Channel 4 - D&AD student Yellow Pencil) and professionally (National Trust - The Drum Awards). 'Back In Five' is my first screenplay and first directed drama, and what I hope will be a step towards film and television directing.
