ABOUT

ABOUT

I'm a director from the West of Ireland, though I started out as a professional dancer and choreographer. That experience still shapes how I move through the world and how I approach filmmaking. That sense of choreographic precision has carried over into my directing, where I love to blend visual energy with strong emotional undercurrents.


I’m a queer filmmaker with a lot of heart, but I’m also drawn to the darker, weirder edges of storytelling. I live somewhere between genres, always chasing that sweet spot where elegance meets grit. I’ve been lucky enough to work across a range of projects, from high-energy pop visuals to twisted, offbeat narratives. I love music videos and have worked alongside artists like Mahalia, Say Now, Rob de Boer, and Anna of the North — but I’ve also directed across commercial, narrative, and experimental film.


As part of the directing duo Grandads with Leah Moore, I’ve had narrative films premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh and Dublin International Film Festival. I'm currently in post-production on Drenched, a feature-length movement film set to premiere later this year. I’m represented by Hurry Sundown Agents in the UK, and this year I was nominated for five Emerging Director Awards, winning two, as well as receiving two nominations at the Young Director Awards in Cannes.
