The poster for 'Thicker Than Water' (director/writer).
'Thicker Than Water' (2022) starring Blaithín Ward, Sadhbh Malin, Donncha Tynan and Maria Fitzgerald.
"Strange as it is, I'm glad we're here. Really. I'm glad we're doing this. We're all we have, you know".
"Thicker Than Water is a film about sisters. It is about blame. Why we blame others, or ourselves, for what is out of our control. It’s about a complicated grief, how to grow within it, how to outgrow it, if either option is a possibility. It’s about how siblings grow in opposition. It’s about places, old and new, and how strange it is when the places we know best become unfamiliar. It’s about memory, what we can and can’t remember and the memories we choose to forget. It is about how an exterior reflects an interior dialogue, opposes it, and both - all at once. It is about how an empty space makes room for relationship, and how two people, through the act of packing up a house that was once their home, unpack the story of their childhood. It is a film which hints at something much bigger than what is shown, perhaps never resolving or including catharsis, but almost certainly suggests a clearer future ahead. Thicker Than Water is about strength: strength in talking, strength in trusting and strength in feeling."
'Clara's Room' 2020 (writer/director).
"Clara’s bedroom is the starting point for a mosaic of moments, to provide a glimpse of the life contained therein. The awkward romances, ritualistic tasks, familial tension - the concept of ‘Clara’s Room’ came from a desire to explore the things which play a crucial part in forming who we are."

Graduate Film: Thicker Than Water (writer/director)

Thicker Than Water is a film about how two sisters, at odds with each other, cope with the complicated grief of their mother.

"After the family holiday home has been sold, sisters Beth and Niamh, and Niamh's boyfriend Rob, reluctantly return to the Sligo coast to clear the cottage of its belongings. There, the sisters are forced to confront the past that lost them their mother, quickly devolving into an increasingly challenging and emotionally suffocating four days."
