GERALD McMORROW – Director/Writer
A graduate of the New York Film School, Gerald began his career in the field of music video directing for artists such as Tom Jones, Catatonia, The Longpigs, Ultrasound, My Vitriol and many others.
Gerald’s career then naturally progressed to commercials and drama picking up awards from the Live Green Earth Awards, the Creative Circle and the British Television Advertising Awards. He also took first prize at The London Film Festival and Panorama at the Berlin Film Festival for his short film 'Thespian X'.
His debut feature film, ‘Franklyn’ starred Ryan Phillipe (Flags Of Our Fathers, Crash), Eva Green (Casino Royale, The Dreamers) and Sam Riley (Control, Maleficent) and was produced by Oscar winning producer Jeremy Thomas.
More recently he has been developing projects both here and in the States including ‘Hell Hath Enlarged Herself’ adapted from the short story by Michael Marshall Smith. ‘Itinerant’ - a period drama inspired by the short but extraordinary life of boxer Stanley Ketchel and ‘Fort Claith’ a thriller set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland.
Gerald has just completed his short film 'Embers' - an adaption of a short story by author Douglas Adams (The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Dirk Gently) a fantasy fable about climate change and the extinction of our planet's wildlife. 'Embers' will be released later this year.
