BA [Hons] Animation

Hi! I'm an animator and filmmaker based in Dublin. I'm interested in intimate, personal stories and observations. Featured below is a showcase of the animated work I've completed over the past few years during my study at the National Film School. The work includes production stills and conceptual work from the graduate film I directed 'Every Other Weekend', which explores experiences of children of divorce through a series of vignettes and memories of camping trips with my dad and sister.

'Every Other Weekend' - Graduate Film

The film aims to explore experiences of children of divorce through a recollection of moments, memories and vignettes. Based on camping trips with my dad and sister, the film explores the newly routine excursion from a children's perspective. Animated in TVPaint with the indispensable help of Lead Animator Niamh Asple. Trailer coming soon!
