Experience

​
I have been working freelance part time during summer periods working with various clients over a variety of content from talking head to educational and documentary style videos. With this I have been able to grow my skills as a filmmaker and get real world experience working for clients and the challenges than come with.

On top of this I film and direct my own documentaries working and collaborating with other filmmakers in Ireland taking a leadership role and I value teamwork on any project. Communication is key in my opinion and no matter what project it is I assure there is always and open line and take criticism as an opportunity to improve.
