I am pleased to share the trailer for “Neon Saints”, a short film produced in collaboration with the Community Arts Partnership, the Belfast Film Academy, and Lamb Films, with generous support from the Community Foundation for NI Social Justice Programme and the Esme Mitchell Trust.

Serving as lead facilitator (alongside Dr. Tony McCauley) and co-writer (alongside Nicole Lee Jiaqi), we worked with 18 participants aged 17–25 from the South Belfast area. Through a series of weekly workshops from September to November 2025, we shared and explored personal stories that informed the film's narrative arc, creative direction, and script.

This was a commission to write a public poem for the Derry City and Strabane Heritage Council. Spoken Word Poem and Voiceover.

Writer: Spoken Word Poem.

Winner of the Scanbitz Short Film Challenge, Clones Film Festival, receiving the Audience Award and Francie Trophy (named after ‘Francie Brady’, author Pat McCabe’s protagonist in The Butchers Boy).

The challenge was to cast, rehearse, scout locations, shoot and edit a short film in 48 hours.
