Dead Still on RTÉ

Dead Still hits RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player from Sunday November 1st at 9.30pm. Fierce excited to finally get this one out on Irish telly! It’s spent most of the year airing around the world so it’s very cool to get it in front of a home audience. And a particularly good time of the year for some spooky lockdowny viewing.

You can check out the trailer for the show here.

And if you’re looking to keep track of the show online, we’ve been using the hashtag #deadstill

The Mastermind

The Mastermind

Here’s a pic of the character I’m playing in the upcoming crime short Swerve, directed by Ross Costigan. The Mastermind is a smug, over dramatic strategist trying to pull the strings of all the players in the brutal game the movie centres around. It was a lot of fun to play and I got to drive a jeep. Happy out.

The film will premiere later this year. For more check out the Swerve page on Facebook.

The Baddest Bunch

Here’s the first character posters for a short crime movie I wrote. It’s called Swerve and it’s essentially like Streets Of Rage but myriad twists, turns and chunks of violence. And humour. And a bit with a dog.

We filmed it last year and we’re hoping to premiere it at the end of this year. The first batch of character posters come from the director himself, Ross Costigan. These are the trio of lead characters: Teddy Boy, The Gent and Vaughan. Of a bad bunch, these are probably the worst.

#swerve

I’m currently gearing up for production on the new short film from Mycrofilms, a crime comedy called Swerve. Although having written it, most of my work should be done but no, I’ll be using both my producing and my acting too. It’s basically a whole lot of scheduling and making sure there are sufficient tea and biscuits on set and then learning my lines. Handy out.

I’ll be playing a character called The Mastermind. It’s equally handy out because I wrote him. This means that I’ll take for granted learning the lines. Which is not handy out. That being said, the film crams 32 characters into 17 action packed pages so I’m far from front and centre on this one. Ross Costigan is directing and he’s assembled a fine cast to play those 32 character, some of whom have been revealed and some of whom will be soon (As of this morning, the cast has been finalised). We’ve just released a teaser poster for the film which sums up the central mystery of the film: what’s in the bag? We’ve also just released a synopsis for the film which goes something like this:

Swerve is about a deadly game where it’s every man for himself as a group of ambitious criminals do battle for a mysterious bag.

This game has been going on for as long as anyone in the criminal underworld can remember. If you play, you play to win. If you lose, you die.

The rules:

1. No girls allowed.

After that, all bets are off.
