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.” David

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!

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.
