I’m a filmmaker, freelance cinematographer and media content producer from Belfast, Northern Ireland, living and working in Arizona and California.
I’m obsessed with what people believe, and why! The first documentary I made was about the genuine beliefs of a small Arizona town in a mythological creature. My first feature-length doc featured the famous evangelical preacher Tony Campolo (spiritual advisor to President Bill Clinton) and his son Bart Campolo, who stopped believing in God at the age of 50 and stepped away from Christian ministry (Leaving My Father’s Faith, 2017). I explored the role of belief in a series of documentaries commissioned by the Colorado River Indian Tribes, and on their indigenous traditions and cultures (The Marking of a Milestone, 2015, Beyond All Boundaries, 2016, In Our Voice, 2018).
I’ve made films on subjects as diverse as the lifestyle of a new generation of desert racers and recreational off-roaders (Trail Code, 2020 and related projects), a legal challenge to the private prison industry (Imprisoned for Profit, 2020), the authority of the President of the United States to unilaterally authorize the use of nuclear weapons (in development) and a series of 12 short docs relating to farming and food for Local First Arizona (Good Food Film Series, 2021), which also became a one-hour PBS special.
My first foray into scripted filmmaking comes in 2025 with my short film Will, a simple story challenging the idea that human beings have free will. I wrote and directed it as a way of beginning a path into more screenwriting and narrative storytelling.
In addition, I’ve become quite preoccupied with helping brands, nonprofits and other entities tell their stories, in short promotional videos, doc-style films and educational video series.
