I am a film academic and author based in Dublin. I love many many many things including repetition, Liverpool FC, the films of Yasujiro Ozu, Northern Soul, Julie Christie, Ghost Box Records, model villages, Hap and Leonard, Bronco Bullfrog, Edwige Fenech, Iris Murdoch and the golden age of British wrestling. I am also the author of Falcon Boy: A Fairly Hopeless Hero. Volume I in the series Falcon Boy and Bewilder Bird vs Dr Don't Know in a Battle for all the Life of all the Planets has just been published. I am currently working on Volumes II and III.

In 2006 I published The British New Wave with Manchester University Press.
