About Penelope

I see the world in pictures. I have a great love for telling stories through a lens. Capturing a moment the way that I see it, and creating a story exactly the way I imagined is what keeps me coming back to the world of film.

While pursuing my B.A. in Filmmaking, I filmed and edited my first feature film “Bailey.”  along with writer and director Tristan Olson. After college, I continued to pursue every opportunity available to me working on commercials, shorts, and social media videos.

I knew filmmaking was my passion and I began to collaborate with a group of other creators. We made the short film “Equus Landing” and this was a pivotal moment for me. I realized I had the skills needed to tell a story through images. I went on to produce, direct, film and edit my mini-series “A Diversity of Creatures.”

Since relocating to Ireland, I continue to create, focusing on bringing classic Celtic Folklore to life in short films.
