First look at "Did you read about Erskine Fogarty?". A film adapted from a short story I wrote back in 2017. Directed by James Cotter and starring Robert Sheehan. I also composed the soundtrack.

I am well into shooting and editing for the forthcoming exhibition, Under the Feet of Shadows, at Mart Gallery in Dublin this September. Created in collaboration with Irish author Mike McCormack, we are developing a speculative origin myth for a yet-to-be built data centre in rural Ireland.
