I am a filmmaker and artist from Donegal, currently residing in Belfast. I use cinema as a sacred space, where the viewer can step outside the pace of everyday life and engage with deeper temporalities which reflect on the dialogue between past and present. Through film I hope to create conditions for re-connecting, allowing audiences to imagine futures grounded in care, accountability and ecological attunement. I am a studio holder at Creative Exchange Studios in East Belfast, my recent film The Barrel has screened internationally and locally at Dissolutions, Cork International Film Festival and Docs Ireland. Alongside filmmaking I am a researcher at Ulster University, and a programmer with Belfast Film Festival.
My debut feature film is in development with support from Northern Ireland Screen and IGNITE Talent Development Programme.
