About Barry

I'm an Irish screenwriter, former cinema projectionist, film studies graduate, and all-round obsessive cinephile, with a passion for the horror genre. I've had some success with quarterfinalist and semifinalist contest placements for my screenplays Darkle and Dogcatcher.

My goals are to improve my craft, expand my portfolio, make connections, and ultimately write for film and television.

I work in IT by day and have previously worked as a cinema projectionist, a security guard, a barman, a waiter, a milkman, done a stint as a nightclub bouncer, and a bit of extra work.

I've recently got back into fiction writing and am currently writing a dark urban fantasy series called The Darkle Chronicles. Book three, The House of Marionettes, is an adaptation of my screenplay Darkle. I'm also working on adapting Dogcatcher later in 2024.
