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.
