The Outcasts Live in Dublin, You’re a Disease

I am so proud of my Dad and I’s Live DVD of The Outcasts gig, which will be launching on July 1st 2012. We decided to release this classic track to give a taster of what is to come! I directed, shot (along with Jessie Ward and Conor Rooney) and edited and my Dad, Paul produced it.

Enjoy!

Jig

I have had a ball over the last few months working with the Jig crew. Jig is a multi media Irish Dancing show which runs twice daily in the gorgeous Powerscourt Town Centre. I’d 100% recommend checking it out! I edited and sound mixed the entire AV show.

Adam and Eve Pop Up Club

Myself and Conor Rooney had so much fun taking these pics at the gorgeous Avila Lipsett’s Adam and Eve Pop Up Club at Bewleys Hotel, D4. These are some of my favourites, you can check out all the pictures over on my Flickr. 

Avila’s next bash is on Friday the 27th April at The Sugar Club. Get yo butts down! More info on the night here.

Sam Holden Documentary

I edited this sneak peek of a documentary on 22 year-old British poker player Sam Holden.

I was also Assistant Editor on the full length documentary. 

Sam has taken the poker world by storm and the documentary follows his journey to the World Series of Poker final table. The documentary will be aired on Sky 231 in the UK and over 20 free to air and satellite channels across Europe from April 2012.

Crafting Type

Conor Rooney and I shot and edited this video, which was a part of a beautiful exhibition curated by Orlaith Ross, Crafting Type, which took place last weekend at The Factory. 

Thomas Glendon is an amazing Stone Carver whose work you will almost certainly recognize if you have spent time in Dublin.

The second part of the video is a letterpress demonstration by Mary Plunkett, filmed & edited by Catherine Geaney. 

Crafting Type is an independent exhibition curated by Orlaith Ross, which crosses the craft and design divide by exploring the craftsmanship of some of Ireland’s finest visual creatives. Launched Thursday 8th March at 6pm, it showcased ten artists who place meticulous craftsmanship at the heart of their work.

My Newest Coolest Project

Really excited to share this with you.

33 years ago my Dad, Paul, interviewed Belfast punk band The Outcasts for his fanzine Neu Carnage. 

Last year The Outcasts reformed and they played their first Dublin gig in 28 years.

Me and my Dad along with Helen O’ Reilly, Andy Knightley Jessie Ward O’ Sullivan and Conor Rooney recorded their gig in The Button Factory and are going to be releasing a live DVD!

It’s so exciting.

Here is a taster of what to expect.  

Tin Can Man Audience Reaction

Here’s a little vid Conor Rooney shot and I edited and produced at the screening of Tin Can Man at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. Tin Can Man is a truly terrifying, claustrophobic and dark piece of work, put simply a masterpiece! I couldn’t recommend highly enough. Do see it when you get the chance, if you’ve got the balls! 

Photography at Dollhouse Midnight Screening at The Factory

The midnight screening of Kirsten Sheridan’s Dollhouse at The Factory was amazing.

Here are some pictures I took.

See this film as soon as you get the chance.

Incredible, visceral and stunningly beautiful work. 

I’m delighted to be helping to organise a fundraiser THIS THURSDAY the 2nd of February.

Gorgeous poster designed by Conor Rooney. Event page here.
