Fassagh Films

I created fassagh films to create. Delighted that 'George & the Dragon' won Best UK Short Film at the Oxford International Film Festival 2019 & received Nominations for Best Actor & Actress UK & an Honourable Mention at the New Renaissance Film Festival, London 2019.

'Chalk & Cheese' I wrote on Tuesday evening & filmed on Friday. In a day. We stood at the boot of Matthew's car, ran the lines, shot the scenes with 2 or 3 takes and moved on. I hadn't laughed so much in years!

Fassagh is the Townland in Fermanagh where my great grandparents had their land. The old house at Fassagh still stands. Christmas Day 2016, 3 generations of my family set to work. From my vision, my mother, Laura, drew an outline of the homestead, wrote the text in traditional Gaelic script & my niece, Victoria Gallagher, effortlessly created a work of exquisite simplicity. 

fassagh films is a tribute to the powerful, talented, courageous women of my family and my heritage in the county and land of my birth.
