Through the curious eyes of Anna, a former sex worker, we are drawn into the discreet world of Ireland’s escort industry. Through her quick-witted observations and raw honesty, she guides us on a vulnerable and intimate journey through the places where she once worked.

Euro-Children

Role: Editor
Directed and Produced by Áindréas Fallon Verbruggen

Euro-Children is a short documentary that explores the Euro-Children Holiday Scheme in Northern Ireland from 1978-1999; a charity which allowed children a chance to escape the sectarian violence by staying with a family in Europe for the Summer. 40 years later, I found some of these former participants and took them back to to see their host families. This documentary explores refuge, belonging, and coming to terms with generational trauma.

BA (Hons) Television

I'm a German-Irish filmmaker with a passion for storytelling in all its forms—whether shaping narratives in the edit or supporting creators and their projects through production management and assistant directing. I thrive on collaboration and problem-solving, helping others bring their stories to life by offering structure, clarity, and support wherever it's needed. Besides having worked as an editor for my major, I will be leaving the college with a minor in Television floor managing.
