On Set: The Lep

The Lep Pure Gold is a fantastic tragic mythology film I'm involved set during the devastating Irish famine. It's merges the legend of Ireland's pernicious leprechauns and one man's desperation to feed his family in the most adverse conditions.

I play the ruthless sheriff, pressuring John (Edwin Mullane) into paying up his meagre earnings as he tries to provide for his sick child and wife (Aoife Honohan).

Written and directed by Rik Gordon, this is a great project to be part of and will be featuring in festivals worldwide when it's completed. I can't wait.

On Set: Continental Breakfast

I was recently cast in Alec Liddle's NI Screen-funded short, Continental Breakfast, as the cuckolded husband of Charlotte McCurry's Ella. It was a bit of a change of pace for me from recent productions as it was much more grounded than some of the projects I've been involved in (no rabbit-obsessed killers, or blood-thirsty narrators). Also starring Abe Smyth, the filming was done in a fantastic little house on the Malone Road. I've already seen a  rough edit and it's looking good, so I can't wait to see the finished project.

Here's some of the pictures I managed to take on set.

Have you heard the big news!

On Set: New Belfast gangster film, Belfast Caliber 9

This is footage from a behind the scenes doc on a film I'm shooting at the minute, with the brilliant Frontier Pictures, who I worked with before on Jackalope.

They always put together a really well-equipped set, and the level of professionalism is evident in the final product.
