The Iron Giant is my favourite animated film.  It’s now a decade old and remains one of the most complex, moving and underrated animations of all time.  Here’s a great article on Wired about the film: A Decade Later, The Iron Giant’s Weaponized Soul Still Stirs.If you haven’t seen it, you should definitely check it out!

Mid Ulster Film Festival

The music video I created for Gentry Morris is being screened at the Mid Ulster Film Festival this weekend.  It will be screened in the same reel as ‘Rip and Preacher,’ a short film I’ve heard great things about and can’t wait to see.  It stars Gerard McSorley, who is launching the festival this year.

A short documentary I made with Phil and Mira on trans08.


We made this one too.


BAFTA Short Film Competition - Shortlisted!

An animation of mine was recently shortlisted for the final five films to represent Northern Ireland in the ‘BAFTA 60 Seconds’ Competition which I really wasn’t expecting!

You can watch my animation, along with the other four NI finalists, on BBC iPlayer here. Mine is the only animation included for this region.

Our films were broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland and open to the public vote to decide which would represent Northern Ireland in the competition. Congratulations to Carol Moore who’s film ‘History Unfinished’ won the public vote and is off to the BAFTAs!


Prop Making

I have been making props for a production in the Alley Theatre for the past few months.  The play is a fairytale with exaggerated, oversized props. Here are a few things that I’ve been working on this week. Some are finished and some are not.




Some great visual imagery and a nice aesthetic to Hitchcock’s less seen movie ‘The Trouble with Harry.’
