Writer, director, and co-producer credited with 9 short films spanning comedy, horror, rom-com, and dramedy genres. Additionally, I’ve served as producer and actor for 7 other short films, primarily in drama and dramedy.

Writing Comedy Examples

Whatever I write, there are always comic elements.
4 Features : Dublin Damo - Cathy has cleared off to Barcelona. Can bone idle, football fan, Damo, win her back to rainy Dublin?

London Sketches: Shaz and Tel in the pub discussing the truth- "why do we call it pineapple and everyone else in the world calls it an an arse" ?

Dublin sketches: " Feeling down and low? Take a drive with Dublin taxi driver, Daithi, he’ll make you feel suicidal, you’ll long to be down and low again."

Gardai (police) - "yes, they’re so up to date, they even discuss things like gays and periods. Never used to have them before in Ireland, you see. "
