AWARDS/HIGHLIGHTS
​
As a filmmaker, I am represented internationally for directing commercials and have been lucky enough to work with some of the world's biggest brands, picking up some nice awards and recognition along the way. I like to find purity in storytelling and magic in the every day - whatever the genre.
​
Through BMAN in Ireland, I wrote and directed the award winning feature film KING FRANKIE, which was nominated at IFTA and enjoyed a theatrical release before finding a home on Amazon Prime. With BMAN, I am currently in pre production for my second film, SHINE and oversee an exciting slate with the production team.
​
Along with filmmaking, I have been lucky enough to take part on several jury panels including at The Kinsale Sharks, The IFTA Awards, ICAD awards and the LBB Immortal Awards.
​
I am the proud founder of Banjoman, Ireland's '#1 Production Company of the Year' at the 2025 'Immortals Awards' (#1 Europe, #5 Global). I am also the founder of BMAN Entertainment, the Film + TV sister company of Banjoman.
