Participant – Shelter

“A video I directed for my friend Stephen (Participant) for his song Shelter. My Goddaughter Iseult cast the snails from her garden (with her dad) and I shot it with help from the brilliant Deirdre O’Toole. The cast are all safe and sound, and still very cute and very gross in equal measure. …”

Maria Webster – Relief

A sumptuous video created by Dublin-based director Kate Dolan for California-based Singer/Songwriter Mariah Wester and shot by cinematographer Philip Blake in the Wicklow mountains “on a low budget, using an Irish cast and crew”.

Sez Kate:

“The song is based on Mariah’s struggle with depression over the last few years and I think can be related to by many people, anywhere in the world. The video focuses more so on the positive influences in your life which can help you overcome dark times in your life…”

Yikes!
