PROFILE

Kieran Galvin is an award-winning filmmaker whose films have screened at over 130 international film festivals at last count. They've also been released theatrically in the UK and New Zealand and on DVD in the USA and Europe.

Kieran was born in Ireland and he has lived for extended periods in the UK, New Zealand, The Netherlands and Australia. He has traveled widely and rates France and Thailand among his favourite countries while New York and Melbourne take city honours.

A sometimes malcontent Kieran is full of the contradictions that plague human beings: he's an atheist but he's spiritual, a socialist with an appreciation of free markets, and he loves humanity but doesn't extend the love to all humans.

Though destined to live a quiet life in some remote mountains, he is for now dedicated to making films that challenge, explore, stir emotions and perhaps even entertain.
