Introducing... 'The Gigonaut' 🚀🚀🚀

The talented Jack Cole delivers charming comedic performances and dramatic VFX in his new directing work for Gigaclear - Ultrafast Fibre Broadband as featured in Campaign Magazine, David Reviews and LBBonline - Little Black Book.

I guess we'll never really know if he did pay for those eggs.

It was such a pleasure to be back on set again with legends Brian O’Malley, James Mather and Mike Garner along with the rest of our talented cast & crew for such an important campaign 'The Gift of Time' for Breast Cancer Ireland, made alongside Core Creative.

Thanks to all who helped make it happen.

'The Gift of Time' - New work for Breast Cancer Ireland, directed by Brian O'Malley.

'The Gift of Time' focuses on the central theme of giving precious time to those patients sadly impacted directly by breast cancer through the funding of world class research. Every cent of the funds raised through the campaign will be channelled into funding additional laboratory time, affording Cancer Ireland funded research teams the time needed to continue in their ground-breaking research into a possible cure.

A special thanks to all those who made it possible.

It was a real pleasure to locally produce this brilliant script for David Shane and Nell Jordan from O+ and the team from Publicis Dublin. Great to see a superbly crafted script, masterful direction, a wonderful cast and full production values from such a top team… and now it’s with bells on after It’s Better Less Bitter picked up three ICAD’s last Friday night 🏆

That's a wrap!

Stevie Russell has just finished up a 5-day shoot for the RTE project 'The Cousin', one of only three projects chosen to make it to production out of tons of entries. Written and directed by Stevie, it follows the day in the life of a young artist on the day he has been accepted into a prestigious art college.

Working with a fresh-faced cast, the film is shaping up to be a special one.

NEW WORK: 50 years of Trocaire 🎬

So thrilled to share the ‘One Day’ campaign for Trócaire’s 50th Anniversary, made with a lot of dedication, heart and passion alongside Mike Garner and with the stellar teams at Core and Trócaire.

For the last five decades, Trócaire have been standing shoulder to shoulder with the marginalised and the voiceless, supporting them in their battles for justice and equality across Africa, Latin America and Asia and making ONE DAY’s happen.

From the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa 🇿🇦to the fight for women’s right to own land in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱From fighting for justice in Guatemala for r**e victims of the Military 🇬🇹to the building of maternity & healthcare facilities in Somalia 🇸🇴and the provision of running water to over 1,400 small scale farmers in Kenya 🇰🇪
