Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make a living as a nomadic artist and filmmaker.
ABOUT ME
I'm a filmmaker and multi media artist from Ireland currently living in London. I love exploring cities, immersing myself in nature, going with the flow, hearing stories and learning about other cultures. I'm interested in the future of mankind on this planet, sustainability, grass roots and DIY endeavors and the delicate balance between nature and technology.
PHILOSOPHY
In infinite universes we ended up on this tiny planet, it's a beautiful place, lets explore it together.

Music, Movies, and Books
Films:
Directors: Wes Anderson, Michel Gondry, Harmony Korine, Werner Herzog (especially the White Diamond), Quentin Tarintino, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Studio Gibli...
The Fountain, Fried Green Tomatoes, When Do We Eat?,
Music:
It's easier to say what I don't like: Gangster Rap (It's hard to come by good hip hop these days!), Country Western (makes me feel car sick), Manufactured Music and Pop. I like stuff you can dance to: Dun Step and Motown! At the moment I'm listening to FKA Twigs and Santigold.
Books: John Steinbeck: East of Eden is my favourite but I love all of his stuff, His Dark Materials trilogy, Italo Calvino...I read a lot but I can't think of any right now!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Travelled on my own on the Trans Siberian Express from Valdivostock to Moscow in December 2013.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a talent for telling stories. I can teach some hula hooping and acro balance! I'd like to learn to cook some local specialities on my travels.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my opinions! I'm happy to have what we call in Ireland 'the banter' and 'the craic'. If I'm provoked enough I'll do a little Irish dancing!
