it's been a while since I updated this portfolio. i have started to teach media expression and performing arts and it has taken over a lot of my time but it's super rewarding and i love the interaction with the students and obviously teaching my favourite subject.

Royal Rendezvous, starring Isabella Gomez, Ruairi O’Connor and Ronan Raftery, premieres IN THE US on Sunday, February 26 at 9 p.m. ET.
The film’s logline says, “An East L.A. chef is invited to a manor in Ireland to cook for the royal banquet in an effort by a Lord to convince his grandmother not to sell their home. Meanwhile, budding romances threaten to derail the entire plan.”

we had our premiere of igirl at clonmel junction arts festival
What if neanderthals had survived instead of homo sapiens? A woman questions evolution from a female point of view and in parallel questions her own life, her successes and failures, with a dry humour, a stoic sense of disappointment and curiosity to explore how things might have been different. Her contemplations channel a range of historical characters including Joan of Arc, Antigone and the Neanderthal. iGirl is a film by Trish McAdam, based on the poem by Marina Carr, with an extraordinary cast including Eileen Walsh, Cathy Belton and Brian Gleeson. iGirl has been described as upending feminism and is an intimate exploration of our search for meaning in history, myth and the stories human beings have told themselves since the beginning of time. Trish McAdam adds layers of visual intrigue including drawings, paintings and animated art to create a mesmeric film. This is the premiere of a co-production by Niche Films with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival.
Supported by Arts Council Film Project award.
