In Brief
I am an Irish writer and director, currently living in London.
This year, 2019, I have written and directed two action feature films for Picture Perfect Productions (Predator Dark Ages), Escape to Dunkirk, and Enemy Contact.
I have just delivered the screenplay of sci-fi action movie The Arena, for Jesse Cleverly (Darkest Dawn, Eastern Promises) at Wildseed Studios and will direct. I am currently writing a period drama feature-film for marquee producer Paul Brett (Kings Speech, Wolf Hall)
I have written four other optioned screenplays and have director credits over thirty TV series and feature-length shows across scripted drama, comedy, docudrama and documentary on the major UK, US and international television channels and over-the-top services.
I have show-run $20 million TV series, been nominated for Grierson Awards and won Gold and Silver awards at the New York Film and TV festival. I have won dozens of Best Director and Best Production awards at festivals worldwide as well as winning the prestigious Promax Gold and D&AD awards for commercials directing.
I began my career in Hollywood as camera tech on major studio movies.
