At the end of February I shot a short film over two days, directed by Tommy Fitzgerald. "Maisey" is a dark drama about a fallout of a relationship, the bitterness and raw consequences for a child who gets sorely neglected as those around her lose sight of what truly matters. Starring Tim McDonnell and Maura Foley as the father and mother of Maisey, played beautifully by five year old Avalilly Durkin. Maura's sister is played by Allison Ryan, her first time infront of the camera, not that you would know it. Shot on the RED MX with Michael Gilbert on focus, Susan Gorzalczynska as 2nd assistant camera, Niall Cutler gaffing, JJ Sullivan as key grip and Dylan Knapp downloading.
It's seldom you can say that a job was as relaxed as "Maisey" was, although we've all worked together before, this was a new dynamic and hand on heart was one of the most enjoyable jobs I've had as a cinematographer.
