In February I was luckily enough to join the tour bus with Berlin based artist Wallis Bird as she continued her extensive live shows, playing over 70 dates across Europe, Australia and Asia. 

I hoped on the tour bus on the German leg as she played her new album 'Home' to what has become her home over the years. This year not only was Wallis nominated for the RTE Choice awards in Ireland but even more incredibly is she also nominated for Deutscher Musikautorenpreis. 

The film captures the atmosphere on and off stage, I had the camera with me 24 hours and was luckily enough the band didn't throw it out of the window, they are a nice bunch and their chemistry is obvious to anyone who spends some time with them. The audio is the track 'Leads The Way' and was taken live from the show in Vienna.

My newest film is premiering over at Wonderland Magazine. 

A new music video for Irish electronic artist Ryan Vail and folk singer Jealous Of The Birds new collaboration. 

"Opening with a spoken word recitation, the Donnie Darko inspired video captures the unpredictable nature of love, personifying it as a crow-like figure. The track then veers into splintered electronics with soft, lustrous vocal harmonies on top.

“The crow became a symbol. A visual manifestation of the problems a couple find themselves in. It is always present looming over the couple, slowly becoming more influential on their actions,” explains London-born-Berlin-based director Joseph Wright."
