My name is Trev, I am an award winning Irish director and writer of documentaries, dramas and commercials but most of all, I’m a storyteller with a passion for filmmaking.

 

Since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated with creating, it felt like magic to make something that did not exist before and I still get that feeling today. Filmmaking began with working my way through the levels from a trainee to a director on countless sets, understanding what each cog in the wheel does to make a film, documentary, commercial or TV show work well. Learning from and witnessing some of the world’s best directors and cinematographers in action has been a privilege and an invaluable education. I’ve been lucky to find great friends and collaborators on this journey too.


As a director, I put my heart into everything I do, I create compelling stories that inspire, educate and captivate the viewer. I love to team up with talented people and craft beautiful, emotive and cinematic pieces. Whether it’s a passion project, a documentary,  a commercial or a short film, my dedication and approach is the same. I want to exceed expectations and thrive in an environment of hard work, fun and creativity.

AWARDS

My short documentary films have toured many international film festivals in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, San Diego, Newport Beach, Paris, Rome, London, Dublin and Cannes.

In 2018, I was nominated at YDA Cannes, Kinsale Sharks Awards Festival and the Dublin International Film Festival where I won the Discovery Award for Directing.

I received awards at the 2019 Irish Emerging Director Awards, 2019 Coronado Islands Film Festival Emerald Award and Best Film at the 2020 Paris Film Festival.

I have also directed commercials for Jameson, Aer Lingus, Vodafone, Kinetica, Eir, Triton, Droga 5, AIB along with several campaigns for the GAA.
