‘Drowning’ was funded under the @filminlimerick ENGINE Short Film Fund, written by @charlottepwall , produced by @gill_nic_conmara , directed by me, and made possible by the immense help and support of Limerick and its people.
We had a ball making this video for Neptune Blood’s ‘In Calico’. Leo here managed to put my knowledge of Star Wars to the test every time we weren’t filming.

A difficult year, but one I’m incredibly proud of.
Here’s me trying to channel my inner Richard Linklater while directing the immensely kind and talented @elainetheactor on set of ‘Drowning’.
Thanks to everyone who supported and took a chance on me in 2025!
We were delighted to share our ENGINE Short ‘Drowning’ at the @filminlimerick event for cast and crew.
Congratulations to all the filmmakers and collaborators, so much on display to be proud of!
Some of the wonderful cast and crew of ‘Drowning’ who brought our film to life. I am so grateful to the entire cast, crew, and countless supporters who helped us achieve what we cannot wait to share with you very soon.
We’d like to extend our gratitude in particular to @limerickmarinesar who were as helpful, informative, and unwaveringly positive as possible. Heroes.
Limerick is the place to be ambitious, we have the talented people to back it up.
‘Drowning’ was written by @charlottepwall , directed by @oflanagan_ , and produced by @gill_nic_conmara under the ENGINE Shorts scheme facilitated by @filminlimerick .

More of a producer vibe in this photo but I swear I did some directing.
That’s a wrap on ‘Drowning’, our Engine Short funded by @filminlimerick ! It was such a delight to direct writer @charlottepwall ’s script with the help of a brilliant crew assembled by producer @gill_nic_conmara .
