I'm an award-winning Irish/Australian director raised in Hackney, London.

I love playing with genres. Previous work ranges from cooking in a ‘50s dystopia, to a psychosexual thriller about a bag, murdering one’s namesakes for ultimate uniqueness, and creative jealousy within an art-world couple.

I’ve supported my filmmaking through eleven+ years working in the art department.

My latest short, RHYME OR DIE, my latest short, won Best Screenplay Short at the Manchester FF and Best Horror Short at Atlanta Underground FF.
