STORY
Des makes inspiring, epic, visual films, small stories made large.
He has a deep understanding of the craft and disciplines of commercials, documentaries, branded content and film from cinematography, performance, and storytelling through to all aspects of postproduction.
He thrives on collaborating with creative professionals to ensure that the vision ends up where it belongs: right there on the screen. It helps that he is a former top creative director, which means he understands all sides of the job. His reel shows that he is adept at bringing these skills to all manner of filming.
Speedy, versatile and flexible, he is well used to achieving great shots in tricky situations to tight deadlines with a minimum of fuss.
His work has taken him around the globe filming in among others New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Germany, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, China, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Iraq (yes Iraq!) and of course Ireland.
In addition to a career of award winning commercials he also directed the short film: ‘The Anarchic Hand Affair’ for RTE/Irish Film Board. Accepted to international film festivals worldwide including L.A. Shorts, Galway Film Fleadh, it secured top prize at the Huesca film festival in Spain. More recently Des directed the sports documentary: ‘What we did Last Summer’ featuring Ireland’s rugby team.
A graduate in Visual Communications from the School of Creative Arts at TU Dublin, Des worked initially as a graphic designer before joining Saatchi & Saatchi. He quickly progressed from junior art director to creative director, jumping between Dublin, London and Warsaw. Having written and art directed countless commercials as a creative he switched to directing full time in 1998.
The proof of his abilities is on his reel.
