While Drunk Cherry isn’t a traditional production company, it represents my passion for creating content. Using my iPhone 14 to film and editing primarily with DaVinci Resolve 17 (and sometimes Adobe After Effects), I embrace a DIY approach, believing creativity and a phone can make anything happen, no matter the tools or snobbery around filmmaking.

In 2024, my short script A Frosty Mile reached the semi-finals of the Waterford International Film Festival and was officially selected for the Scriptify competition at FICCH Fest. It later became a semi-finalist at the Directed By Her Festival at the IFI in 2025.

My short Lipstick On A Pig was nominated for Best International Drama and Best Director (1–5 minutes) at the Winter Couch Film Festival in Toronto and shortlisted for the Espresso 90 Film Festival in Birmingham, where it had its big screen debut. It was also officially selected for the Lift-Off Sessions, an international online festival showcasing emerging indie talent. In Ireland, it screened at the Boyne Valley International Film Festival, was nominated for Best One Minute Short at the 16th Underground Cinema International Film Festival, and received an Honourable Mention from the RTF Realtime International Film Festival.

In 2025, I was selected for the ESB NexGen Female Filmmaker Programme at the Dublin International Film Festival, joining 15 emerging filmmakers for mentorship, industry training and masterclasses with Oscar-winning filmmakers. I also participated in the Wideshot Programme by GORM Media, a development initiative for emerging digital storytellers. That summer, I served as a member of the Generation Jury at the Galway Film Fleadh, evaluating films and contributing to the jury discussions that determined the Generation Jury Award.

In 2026, I was selected as a screenwriter for the National Youth Film and Animation School, with my short script "Be The Cowboy". My short script has been chosen to be produced as part of the programme, supported by Screen Ireland. The project will be brought to life during the school in August!
