About Me

Writer. Director. Filmmaker.

I write fiction and develop work for radio, stage and screen.

I make my living as videographer, editor and independent

radio producer.

My work explores unique perspectives and lived experiences,

enriched by a background in open education and

non-profit arts organisation.

I’ve been an arts correspondent for RTE Lyric FM’s

Culture File, performed improv at the Edinburgh Fringe,

made short film and music videos and acted on air and screen.

I co-founded the educational non-profit Open Learning Ireland, and served on the board of directors of collaborative art centre Exchange Dublin. I’ve worked as Communications Officer for the Association of Radio Producers Ireland. I’m an active member the Writers Guild of Ireland and a former member of The Attic and A4 Sounds collective. I graduated with 1st class honours from the TCD’s Psychology undergraduate programme in 2009, and in 2017 graduated with 1st class honours from IADT’s Broadcast Production Masters.

Gareth Stack’s masterpiece.

The Irish Times

On 'The Wall in the Mind'

There is much to enjoy in Stack’s drama, from its use of location sound recordings to create a mood of foreboding to the spirited performances of its Irish and German cast
