Frank  an award-winning independent filmmaker. He has made 16 films over 20 years, including shorts, documentaries and three feature length films.

Frank is the former short film programmer for the San Francisco Irish Film Festival. He has also written episodes of The Tom and Jerry Show. He is passionate about Short Film and Independent Film and has written a book on the subject, entitled “8 Simple Steps to Making Your Short Film.” Frank is also co-founder and co-director of the Boyne Valley International Film Festival, as well as the Jump Cuts Youth Film Festival and Sluagh Horror Film Festival.
