Winner of a Gold Shark Award and 2 Empire/Jameson Awards

I am a professional and passionate screenwriter and director with experience in film, television and advertising.

I have learned first hand from shadowing established directors on set such as: Andrew Dominik, Jim Sheridan, Ken Girotti, Julian Jarrold & Agnes Merlet and have had directing master-classes with Mike Leigh, Luis Mandoki and Mark Romanek.

I have over 20,000 hours of film and broadcast editing experience & was mentored in film editing by Emma E. Hickox. This has helped me enourmously in sets as I don’t waste time knowing what is necessary, what will work and what will cut in the edit room.

I am fluent in English and Spanish and my background also spreads to creative development, on-air promotion, event panel moderating and speaker alike.

I consider myself to be an experienced team leader with limitless ambition and a drive to taking the creative lead whilst inspiring others, listening and collaborating to achieve the best possible result for the project at hand.

I am a multi award-winning writer, director, producer and editor with over 20 years in the business and a proven track record in conception, production and delivery of content. I have also successfully created and managed crowd-funding campaigns for feature films.

I have written and directed several award winning short films, features and plays, as well as several commercials, music videos and concerts for The Walls, HamsandwicH, Julie Feeney and The Laundry Shop.

In 2010 and 2011 I won the Irish leg of Empire magazine’s ‘Done in 60 Seconds’ competition with versions of “The Departed” and “Shadow of the Vampire”, which I wrote and directed.

In 2012 I directed and edited 3 short films for the European Women’s Lobby about Family Reunification.

In 2013 I spent 5 weeks in Africa writing and directing a 4-part TV-documentary series commissioned by EWTN on the life of the Pallottines. This series aired globally on November-2015.

I co-wrote, produced, directed and edited my multi award-winning debut feature film “The Hit Producer”, a crowd-funded film, which opened in Irish cinemas on October 2015 and had an extended release on January 2016 through Omniplex. It was part of Aer-Lingus inflight entertainment and had a nationwide theatrical distribution in Mexico through Cinemex in September –October 2018 and is currently being distributed in VOD through Amazon Prime in over 100 countries.

In 2017 I won the Kinsale Gold Shark Award for directing the RTÉ/Filmbase short Film “ACORN”, which is currently being distributed by NITV.

Most recently I wrote, co-directed and edited the Drama-documentary “Violet Gibson, The Irish Woman Who Shot Mussolini” starring Olwen Foueré for TG4 and am currently developing my next feature film.
