Padraig became interested in live action filmmaking while studying animation in Dun Laoghaire, mainly the sub textual power of narrative filmmaking. He learned how to work with cameras doing corporate video jobs, while picking up the manners of filmmaking working on sets. He began to light and shoot short films as cinematographer, learning developing a sensitivity for composition, motion and lighting. 2010 onwards saw the introduction of High definition video into large sensor still cameras, giving filmmakers the tools to create quality images relatively inexpensive. Padraig wrote a feature length film and raised some funds using the crowd funding site fundit.ie, and began shooting the micro budget feature length film, No Party For Billy Burns. The film provides an unfiltered lyrical voice for young people in rural Ireland, a demographic that is usually pandered to national media and advertising Because of the self financed route of the film, the post production has become a long term process.

Andréa Farrell is a funny girl from Dublin. A bright spark in Irish comedy, she quickly made an impact as a finalist in the RTE New Comedy Awards, a TV showcase for promising comedians that spring boarded her onto a staple of Summer festival slots like the Vodafone Comedy Festival, Kilkenny Cats Laughs, Electric Picnic and the Edinburgh Comedy Festival. Andrea broke new ground recently taking a campervan around Ireland with her chums The Lads of Comedy, bringing their anarchic ‘supergroup’ approach to stages near and far. When she's not opening for comedy heavyweights like Stewart Francis, Marc Maron, David O'Doherty or Bill Burr she’s doing regular slots at the International Comedy Club, where her laconic style and irreverent stage presence are a breath of fresh air to the Dublin audiences. Stellar Comedian of the Year 2015. ‘Winningly dry’ - The Telegraph. ‘One to watch’ - The Independent’ ‘Hilarious’ - Bill Burr

I recently graduated from the MA International Multimedia Journalism in Beijing. I am a Sinologist, I have a good knowledge of SEA countries, with a particular focus on China. Over the years I had several important experiences in the social-humanitarian field through paid or voluntary jobs, which allowed me to develop both personal concern and professional interest towards issues related to human rights, social justice, migration and cultural identity. Through photography and videography I am aiming at taking a journey into peoples life, giving voice to their personal stories and by doing so addressing problems and realities that on a global scale affect the global community. I am extremely fascinated by the new collaborative forms of journalism and multimedia, as powerful tools to deliver stories in the most creative and appropriate way possible to reach the audience efficiently.

During that time, and by fulfilling a variety of roles, I've had the opportunity to hone my craft as a storyteller, and get a comprehensive understanding of how every facet of production contributes towards an engaging and memorable end product. For the last five years, I've headed up a wide range of long form productions that have seen me travel the globe in search of new, untold stories that speak to audiences on an emotive, aesthetic and human level. As a director, writer and director of photography, I've completed over 18 long-form productions, often from development to delivery, with a diverse International audience seeing over 8000 minutes of my work.
