Welcome to my site! This is a show case of some of the work I have been involved in over the years.
Video Production
In 2010, I set up a group of like minded individuals to make some video shorts. We called ourselves Elephants on a Trampoline.
Here are some video shorts we shot
Crazy Lady
Crazy Lady was our first. There is a man, in a boat in the middle of a frozen field…
Service
Service was part of a competition to write, shoot and edit a short film in less than a week based on a theme. The theme of this was a spoon. As the group actually had other commitments, we did it in 24 hours!
Graduation Film.
I graduated from Dun Laoghaire College of Art and Design in 1991 and this is my final film from there.
What’s your problem?
The story behind this film comes from my time in San Francisco in 1990.
It was shot on 16mm film and unfortunately the print went missing while touring the festival circuit. What was have is a copy I had made on VHS at the time.
Storykeeper
In 2009, I took a career break and set up a company documenting the oral history of families. The project was called Storykeeper.
