ESCAPE
Much like a band might lock themselves away to complete an album, we offer PREMIUM production & EDIT SERVICES overlooking the Atlantic Ocean for filmmakers to get away from the city and focus on their craft.
EDIT
Cut your film overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Let the invigorating backdrop inspire your creativity. You can base your whole project here in Donegal, or use The Bothy as an outpost connected to your main production hub. David can collaborate with you here, work remotely or come to you anywhere in the world.
David's work includes acclaimed feature Everyone's Going To Die and feature doc Shelter Me, executive produced by Oscar nominated filmmaker Jim Sheridan, plus TV series for BBC, RTÉ, Channel 4, Channel 5, Discovery and Sky. He has cut commercials for clients such as Sony, Lexus, Mercedes, Sky and The Sunday Times. His promo work features artists including Harry Styles, Years & Years, Rudimental, Elton John and Mick Jagger, accumulating over 660 million views online.
For UK commercials & promos David also works out of prestigious London edit house The Assembly Rooms.
