About Me

Film maker based mainly in Ireland. Just finished a film for Amnesty International which should be available to view online soon. Currently commissioned to direct a five-part series on dance for television and nearing completion on directing a film set in Ireland and Prague "Mrs Friendly". I'm a founding member of the Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) and a member of Screen Producers Ireland. My production company is Timesnap Ltd.

My Interests

Film (obviously), music, writing, photography

I'd like to meet:

Anyone involved in the industry at any level - actors, writers, producers, sound people, lighting people, camera people... You never know where your next collaboration will come from. I'm especially interested in collaborating with people in other countries. I work on commissioned pieces but often on micro or no budget pieces that interest me also so if you're a musician trying to get your work heard or an actor trying to get a credit on a film and don't mind donating time to a project you believe in let me know. Also showreels, voice samples etc are welcomed for my database for future projects. Just specify if you want to be considered for non-paid work also or just paid work.This is a film I made for Amnesty International. It's got a really important message so it'd be great if you could add it to your profile or send the link around so as many people as possible can see it. Cheers :)Make it stop
