Short drama-documentary in the IFI

Sanctuary is a series of 26 ultra-short stories of asylum and refuge in Ireland, being shown in rotation before features in the IFI this month. The stories are all based on interviews I’ve done with people seeking asylum, and were performed by a collection of well known and emerging actors and writers.

Documentary film: The Richness of Change

The Richness of Change is a series of ten ultra-short films, documenting immigration into Ireland, that I directed. Each one-minute film tells the story of one person’s move to Ireland. The films were produced by Fomacs and were broadcast on RTE in April 2008. They were commissioned by the Immigrant Council of Ireland, and originally shown at the Council’s conference, ‘The Richness of Change’, on October 4, 2007.
