These past few months I've had the privilege of being mentored by Damian McCarthy through starGaze! I've been a fan of Damian's since his film Caveat first hit Shudder in the pandemic times of long ago, and getting the chance to develop work informed by his insights into horror and independent filmmaking has been one of the most informative experiences of my career. Go see his new movie Hokum, in cinemas everywhere!!!!!
We had soooo much fun gallivanting around Dublin 2 making this music video for The Amniotics!! Co-directed by Jack and B, starring the excellent Anthony O'Connor and shot on a magnificent beast of a mini-DV camera, SAFETY is now yours to enjoy :)) link in bio!
Thank you SO MUCH to the Trans Image Trans Experience Film Festival for a week of beautiful trans art. Thank you for watching my movie. Thank you Louise for giving me this cool award and doing this cool interview with @filmindublin (link in bioooooo). Making movies is so scary and being in these dark rooms with everyone warms the heart and recharges the soul. I am so excited about all the cool shit you are making. Trans Images and Trans Experiences forever!!!!!!!!!

Produced by @ancaioanas , this song was a labour of love, and lots and lots of mixing notes. Music video by the incredible @hellojackwarren@btricks , with the lovely @anthonyoconnnor as our star. When the day job is grinding you down and it seems your dreams are disappearing, don't forget to fall in love.

Ireland!! You've got TWO chances to catch a chuckle from yours truly this month, and that's no joke! BLAIR'S CRAFT PROJECTS will be screening Sunday, April 19th at the legendary Trans Image, Trans Experience Film Festival. And THEN you can take the train out to Limerick to see TOXIC ASTROLOGY EX-BEST FRIENDS on Saturday, April 25th at the wonderful Catalyst International Film Festival at 2:30pm :)) Would love to see you there...and I'm not kidding! (It is April Fool's Day today.)
Violent Delights by Jack Warren is on the CenterFrame Selects shortlist, and Jed Shepherd (Host, Dashcam) nailed why it hits so hard.
A slow burn with a chilling calm, raw intimacy, and the kind of tension that creeps up quietly until it explodes. 🔥🎬
