Before moving into Directing, Brian studied Sculpture in the DIT School of Fine Art. Whilst there his fascination with the exploration of three-dimensional space inevitably led to him picking up a video camera and creating his first experimental short films. Through these experiments, he discovered visual directors like Sergio Leone and Martin Scorsese, and his desire to be a highly visual commercial film director was born. His video work in college got the attention of his fellow students and before long he was making no-budget music videos for college bands. He considered abandoning art school in favour of film school, however, he felt compelled to complete his studies. After leaving college Brian worked internationally as a snow, ice and sand sculptor, taking part in many international competitions and creating sculptures on a corporate level. Brian has now completed his second feature film which has allowed him to further develop his own signature as a director. A classically themed gothic ghost story set in 1920s rural Ireland, The Lodgers tells the story of orphaned twins Rachel and Edward who reside in a crumbling manor that they share with their eternally damned ancestors. The Lodgers will receive its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2017. Read less
