I am a director, screenwriter, and sound designer based in Dublin. My work and the work I admire tends to be primarily character-driven, exploring themes ranging from the intricacies of family dynamics to the duality of human nature. My graduate film, Bestial Ones, tells the story of a young, discontented single mother who must choose between her troubled son or the freedom she desperately craves after a chance encounter presents an opportunity for escape. The film is a culmination of many aspects of my life that I have wanted to explore for some time - fractured familial relationships, atypical families, and abandonment. It is a story about love and learning to make the difficult decision to grow.
