About
b. 1998 in Slovakia and raised in Northern Ireland.
My short films tell stories of individuals facing difficult decisions while undergoing questions of identity in the wider world. I’m interested in the re-contextualisation of Northern Ireland as a response to it’s previous cinematic portrayal.
Using the language of cinema to explore temporality, migration and modernity.
My previous teaching roles have included being the
Associate Lecturer of Visual Narratives at Central Saint Martin’s and Chelsea College of the Arts.
From 2023-2024 I was part of the curating team for the
Visions of Europe programme at the Queen’s Film Theatre in Belfast.
In addition to narrative filmmaking, I have four years of post-production experience in commercial, scripted and documentary.
