James Doherty
I’m an Irish-Mancunian writer/director making films about family, masculinity-in-crisis and characters living on the fringes of society.
Putting the finishing sparkle on THE LONG F*** OFF for Channel 4’s 4Stories / OnTheEdge emerging talent strand - My television drama debut. Airing on C4 in Q1 2024
Also currently doing the festival circuit: NEON MEETS ARGON - a neon-infused apprenticeship drama, comissioned by Screen Ireland for their flagship Focus Shorts scheme. Also airing on RTE in October.
My debut short film BREATHE won awards internationally, was selected for a Vimeo Staff Pick and was showcased by the BFI and British Council. More info on screenings, awards and watch the film here: www.breathefilm.info
