Biography

I am a filmmaker with vast experience of both drama and documentary production. My most recent documentary Mercury 13 was made for Netflix in 2018. It is a feature-length documentary about the women who were involved in the very first U.S astronaut-training program ‘Project Mercury’. The trailer, fronted by the septuagenarian pilot, Wally Funk stole the show at the Canadian Hot Doc's festival when it won the “Cuban Hat for the Best Pitch” at the 2015 Forum.

I have worked as a Freelance Writer, Producer/Director and Edit Producer with many independent production companies and also in-house with broadcasters. I have a keen sense of narrative and an exceptional visual flair. My experience of film and media production is extensive from factual to historic to observational docs, reality shows, arts and consumer features, and feature film production. Currently, I am developing two feature film scripts Want and Rising Mercury, both have received financial support from Ireland’s state funded film agency, Irish screen. I am also a trained editor and a published writer with workable Irish, French and Spanish.
