Standby To Shoot
Set In Motion
I have been blessed enough to have been apart of some beautiful crews during my two years at college.
So far, I have completed ten 2-4 minute short films, two long(er) 10-15 minute short films, a documentary and various other projects.
Over the course of these college project films, I have taken up roles in various departments such as Director, DOP, First Camera Assistant, Lighting Assistant, Boom OP/Sound Mixer, head of props/set dresser and producer.
I’ve also worked in studio environments where we built our own sets from scratch; during those shoots I undertook the roles of being a floor manager and a camera operator.
Outside of college, I have been lucky enough to be an intern AD for West Cork Film Studios, and a production assistant with TG4.
Some of my favourite projects are below!
This was a creative piece I directed in which we were given the task to conduct an interview using a puppet.

The Morning Chills
Directed By Serena Clarke
The Morning Chills, directed by Serena Clarke, is a surreal short film exploring displacement and identity through the eyes of a young immigrant in Ireland. After falling asleep on the phone to her mother, she wakes up in the middle of a strange field—disoriented, alone, and unsure how she got there.
As the boom operator and sound mixer, I captured the film’s emotional intimacy while navigating a highly atmospheric outdoor set—complete with a real bed we built from scratch. The unique set design blurred the line between dream and reality, grounding the film’s haunting themes in a visceral, natural space.
Erring Entity- directed by Alice Boeg
He picked the wrong house.As the creator of Erring Entity, I crafted a slow-burn narrative built on suspense and claustrophobic tension. The confined setting and minimal cast allowed the story’s creeping dread to take centre stage, culminating in a brutal revelation that leaves the viewer questioning who the real monster is.
PlanningErring Entity has been the one most ambitious project Ive ever written and directed. It was my own 2-4 minute short film I directed and edited to submit for my second year of college.
I really wanted to experiment with lighting and heavy colour grading. Jack has warm undertones and the thief has cool. When the two characters meet on screen this creates a really disgusting uncertain yellowish queasy colour which has the effect of uneasiness on the audience.
I had a very ambitious 73 shots to complete in one day, which we got done in five hours. The planning for Erring Entity was extensive to say the least- I had the lovely Callum Walsh who is very talented in graphic design create newspaper props which I had Jack read on set- and for at least a month after I didn’t want to touch a story board.
I would however, like to think it paid off. I had an exact idea of what I wanted the final edit to look like- which made the filming process a hundred times easier.
Working with actors as patient as Micheal Browne and Lucas Schonneman really make all the difference.
Have a look at cut to the frame for the trailer :)
