Here is the FULL trailer for the series 'Covenant' that I directed. Shot in Dublin with a wonderful cast, we hope to bring you a Celtic Horror tale that will leave you with something to think about. Excited to get some of the story out there for you guys!
@LanternJS
Im SO glad we're getting Prometheus discussions again. Thanks for bringing it up.
The Engineers created the pathogen as a weapon right? To create life and also the perfect weapon against it.
@djamesse_
In the observation deck the couple watch the planet below, Shaw with tears in her eyes as she sees what could be compared to as a “glimpse into heaven for her.” Shaw ponders “and if they are no better than we are?” to which David replies “so long as they are no worse.”

BAFFLING how Wales is sometimes completely unknown outside of the UK. I went to several bookshops with Celtic history sections that had Ire, Scot and Eng but NO sign of Wales. 90% of people I meet have NO idea it's a country. So now, it's my job to make it known, through film!

More like, “Oh yeah the engineers made mankind in their image on planets that were similar to their planet using their DNA.. let’s give it a humanoid design.”
Threads (1984 film) is absolute perfection.
A true Horror movie that builds dread better than 99% of movies I've ever seen.
Truly chilling, realistic, and disturbing. I SWEAR that the North of England produced some of the best and original movies of all time.
Hey, any Welsh actors in Cardiff over the next few months?
Looking to create a truthful Welsh drama.
Searching for mid 20's actors for a collaborative, low budget film once restrictions are lifted. All genders welcome, a diverse cast wanted. No experience needed.
Reach out!
Here’s an important one for the Twitter followers. A short teaser (made for phone) of my short supernatural horror series that was shot in a unique Georgian mansion in Dublin. Not finished colour grade. This shows my style and mood of what horrors I want to make! Out soon.

My face when I realise I’m going back to San Francisco in January.
Scholarship approved.
It’s confirmed!!
Time to get a Commonwealth Games qualifier and continue my masters in Screenwriting & Directing!
Day 5 in hospital with a collapsed lung.
It’s a waiting game to see if the tear/hole will heal this air leak.
Not how I thought I’d be spending Pride weekend but here we go!
Send any healing spells my way 🧙♂️
I GOT THE JOB. I’m on cloud 9 I can’t believe this.
My life is really about to change.
Time stare happily out of the window for 6 hours as I process this information!
@NebsGoodTakes
A flawless remake that loves the originals. An absolutely brutal balls to the wall Horror that took risks most horrors don’t. No holding back. No fear. This can only be made by someone who loves the originals.
@HailEternal
Makes sense since the aliens we see seem to be created from the goo interacting with humans to make the xenomorph we know which is a merge of alien and human dna
Thanks

for this wonderful experience and

for sending me with the team. Met so many amazing people, learned a lot and got some incredible content.

and their face lit up and then made a spectacle. Didn’t expect my old welsh buddies to be clued in on blockchain but it goes show the global reach and impact of what we do. I told them to check out Meridian in October
New stills from my latest short. This one was crazy, NO crew just me, a camera, a mic and incredibly talented actors.
So happy with the result and firing this one off to the festivals ❤️

Proud to announce I've been asked to direct a short film in the next few months. An exciting cast and great passion involved. Cannot wait to get going on this production and show you what's going on!
The best recommendation I've had this year is for TV Show:
Search Party
A cast of characters that are absolutely hilarious but feel EXTREMELY real at the same time, this show is one of the funniest and most intense shows I've seen in a long time.
Go binge! S3 out Thursday!
It's been about a year since I've seen it but, the ONLY film I can't stop thinking about it is:
The Lost City Of Z
Honestly haven't felt this way in a movie in a long long time. Holds a dreamlike space in my head.
Really special, underrated movie.
This is my best mate, the guy I ran with, went to school with and grew with. One of few people I’d do anything for. If you respect me then Listen to his message and ask yourself, why am I still not posting?

I’ve been released! The lung healed and no signs of damage, air pockets or any issues.
Have to take it easy for the next 2 weeks in case it happens again. If it does I just get the simple surgery to fix it forever.
Thanks so much for the support.
Onto the next adventure!
Well.. 😭❤️Getting work critiqued and seen by industry professionals is something I’ve been looking for, to see how I shape up against the big dogs. Didn’t expect this but such a wonderful start to my week and a step in the right direction! Time to keep moving.
@FfilmCymruWales
So happy I have a job where I can directly help boost creativity in Wales.
There is a lack of resources for filmmaking in Wales and now I have a job teaching kids filmmaking, video and editing.
I start work until 4 so have all day to work on projects + train. Dream come true
Uh oh. New beginnings! Very excited time be going to San Francisco to continue my career in 2020, where I’ll be able to run and study directing full time!
@filmaroni
Yeah it’s gotta be Good Time. This film really did the action slice of life different. The sense of realism and the insane acting is just amazing to see on screen. Shame this isn’t talked about more outside of the a24 fan base

Ah yes when you saw your wife have an alien removed from her stomach from a futuristic tech pod, with unknown futuristic drugs and equipment! 😂
Always sad leaving but a solo 600m time trial in 1.18.3. So grateful to coach Jerry Kiernan for all his time and patience since moving to Dublin. This grumpy old man has a heart of gold believe it or not, if you know him you know exactly what I mean. Now, onto San Francisco.
yo I’m telling you my co-workers at
@StellarOrg
are legit the most talented passionate and experienced individuals out there. never seen such talent in one space.
im shocked daily at what I can learn from them. yall have no idea what we’re all cooking up here.
@trygraptor
i wonder if david switched his AI brain into walter .. no chin wound mark, different hair, would he have had time to change, match scars and cut off his hand in that short period of a time?
i love the idea that David infected walter SOMEHOW
Got told off for being too excited and having too much fun whilst directing today. Think I’m going to get yelled at a lot more this semester if they want me to tone it down 😅😂
@joerussotweets
I see this type of behaviour a lot with students I work with.
What is typically the most frustrating thing for you as a director on set? Time Constraints/Mistakes/Not living up to vision etc?
i didnt really know what it would actually feel like to work for a mission driven company .. now I do.. and i fucking love it ..
it’s like, oh, my content might actually help facilitate change in the world?!!
@StellarOrg
Honestly shocked that the TV show:
Utopia (2013) isnt discussed.
One of the most bold, groundbreaking and dark shows going. It truly stands above most British television but rarely gets mentioned. Some of the best cinematography on TV and NEVER holds back.
Go binge this rarity
Happy Father’s Day to the man who traveled 100s of miles a week whilst working full time to take me to training and all over the UK to race.
Still not done yet and more than ready to show him that all of those hours were worth it. 🏃🏻♂️🤜🏻
Over the moon. It’s taken a year to get here fitness wise and confidence wise. Great competition and a cracking race with
@TomMarshall1500
it’s so nice to see familiar face. Thank you all for a warm welcome back! Big thank you to Jerry Kiernan and Darrel Maynard.
So happy!!!
Been asked to direct and create a Music Video by a fantastic composer. Looking to have an insane little crew for it to bring out something truly special.
More details to come over the next few months as it all comes together!!
@LanternJS
ohhh wait, they created the goo to replicate the being that could allow the engineers to keep their race going (the deacon) they couldn't breed naturally and found a creature (facehugger or similar) that impregnated them and gave birth, they worshipped this thing and tried to
Sorry for the silence, I’ve made it to San Francisco.
Settled in, decked my room out and ready to do some special things in the next 6 months!
Keep on 🤙
Always scared of Photography so decided to pick up a 35mm camera and harass a cinematographer to teach me.
Wasn't sure what to snap so just thought, what do I like?
Spooky. Celtic. Dark. Horror. Unusual.
So I focused on trying to capture that through what I see.
So here!
Mad how a lot of athletes with large platforms just carry on posting happy pictures of them running, talking about how great life, how good training is going but not a word about one of the most defining moments of our time.
The egos of some athletes.
Read the fucking room.
Back to the Valleys today for the first time in years to see the new athletics track.
Great to be with my best mate again. Took the camera to snap a few candids. Love seeing the surrounding Welsh landscape when I train now.
Guys, I don't know what is with April but:
I've been offered a position with a salary that I could never have imagined. I think my life is about to change.
I never grew up with money/wealth and have never had savings/real income since I've been running/scholarship for so long.
Day 3 in San Francisco, I was doing hill sprints and was approached by an older couple asking for an autograph because they thought I WAS ADAM DRIVER, like WHAT?! Had no idea what was going on and just had to tell them 'Sorry, I'm the bootleg.'
I'm so glad Alien Covenant conversation is back.
Let's talk one of the most frightening endings in recent memory: David DESPISES humanity. Daniels in her last moments, tries to confirm that it isn't David in front of her. But it is. Daniels knows what David is going to do to
Another opportunity has magically opened up.
Don't want to Jinx it but, finally able to present a short screenplay I've been working on for years that I've changed again and again.
Would love to show this one, especially in Wales.
Fingers crossed for the funding!
Well.. I've finally finished my short screenplay for my screenwriting master's class.
Time to send it off to my American Academy Award-winning professor who has helped rip it apart in the best ways.
All I can say is: Man, I had no idea how to write properly until I studied it.
So excited to get the casting process going for this Welsh feature. So much passion for Welsh stories.
Love meeting all of you amazing actors and excited to create and work with everyone over the next few years in a variety of projects.
Let's get the Welsh stories on screen.
I feel I have to re-introduce myself now I’ve entered a new

Never thought I’d be thinking of walking away directing a 100k indie film at this stage, but here I am.
Would be my first full feature.
Just telling myself I have to stay true to the style and vision I believe in.
First impressions count and can’t fuck that up!
Okay quick extremely rare awkward selfie to tell you thay After 10 hours I’ve finished editing the trailer for our series. Really excited and nervous to put it out there but it’s the FIRST time anyone is seeing story details. I will probably upload it tonight. Wish me luck.

Its so funny ya'll keep using this ONE example which isn't actually far off from what happened, if you read the snopes article, but yall wont complain about your own candidate literally spouting lying every time he spoke. Clown type shit just shows how delusional 🤡
One of my fondest memories: When I was 15, during the winter, I would go to this hill on a long, secluded road. I'd run up and down 20 times and my mum used to sit in the car with the radio on, tea in hand and hold up paper with a handwritten numbers of the rep I was on.
Did anyone see Honeymoon (2014)?
I really loved this one: the slow loss of humanity mixed with true love and an unstoppable horror was truly disturbing to me. Had me thinking for a few days after watching it. Very rarely get that.
Day 1 in San Francisco - Got yelled at and called stupid for wearing my shorts out. On the other hand, I thrifted a Star Wars Tee and some Nike trainers for 10 bucks. I'd say this is a positive start! I love this city already.
My favorite ongoing bit at
@StellarOrg
is convincing new CS hires I work on the core team. (Arguably the most difficult team that works on the hardest code) because I copped some core team swag. It’s fun seeing how long I can get away with it before they see right through me.
@ASBreedlove
@jimmycthatsme
It’s awesome. If lore is correct David basically created face huggers from experimentation of the engineers / Shaw (humans) to create the alien. Would make sense that the black goo altered the DNA / created life from human remains.
If you were quarantined with me I would make you binge Adventure Time, Over The Garden Wall, Naruto + Shippuden and Legion. You would either get driven insane or transcend time and space. Hi, I'm Elliot and welcome to my weird shelter.
I’ve done all sorts of training. From 5k/10k distance training at Villanova to middle distance 4/800m training at Academy of Art and with my Irish and Welsh coaches.
With that, I can safely say: Pure Speed training is the hardest by far. No joke, I’m terrified of the next rep.

Going through the ADHD diagnosis is one of the most enlightening and helpful things I've ever done.
