#111 | Diarmuid Goggins | Director

EP 111. Diarmuid Goggins. Director. We caught up with Diarmuid this week in between car chases and controlled explosions to have a chat about being real, working hard, wanting an actual fistfight in a fake emergency room and general kindness in the industry. Wrapchat is brought to you by Film Equipment Store and mixed by BEDFORD. Seán T. Ó Meallaigh joins PBL today as our new co-host. An Irish IFTA-nominated director for Film and TV Drama, Diarmuid recently completed work on BULLETPROOF Series 2 as Lead Director having previously been Lead Director on SILENT WITNESS. Other recent credits include Lead Director on series 3 of Dublin-set police drama RED ROCK for Element Pictures/TV3/BBC. His early credits include directing on CASUALTY, HOLLYOAKS, and CBBC comedy-dramas DANI'S CASTLE and MILLIE INBETWEEN. Graduating from The National Film School in 2003, Diarmuid's short film NELL came 3rd in the Best First Short category at the Galway Film Fleadh. He went on to direct factual and dramatic programming for RTÉ and TG4, Ireland's leading broadcasters, before writing and directing his 2010 short drama CAR PARK. That same year, Diarmuid also directed THE LINE, which The Sunday Times described as 'a slickly executed dystopian drama made with the confident swagger of director Goggins. JESUS, MARY AND MATTIE was Diarmuid's next drama, a moving adaptation of Patrick Pearse's short story about a man, Mattie, who after his losing his wife, struggles to find any meaning in his life. diarmuidgoggins.com Become a patron/Supporter of Fni on: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fni FNI@Home is back on the 29th of July with Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, Directors of the excellent, Good Vibrations and last years Ordinary Love Featuring Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville.  https://hopin.to/events/fni-home-with-lisa-barros-d-sa-and-glenn-leyburn-with-colin-mckeown Supporting the Children's Ambulance @BUMBLEance Wednesday 29th of July.
