Stevie is a writer and director based in Wicklow, Ireland.
In 2023, his script The Cousin was selected from hundreds and produced by RTÉ and Screen Ireland. In 2024, he co-wrote Department of Death with Tony Cantwell and Alison Spittle, which was picked up by Assembly Films and awarded development funding from Screen Ireland. He also co-wrote the upcoming sci-fi feature Seedling with Stephen Shields (Abigail), now in pre-production with Traction in the US.
Stevie won the Cannes Young Director Award (YDA) in 2012, and since then has directed large-scale campaigns across the globe for brands like Lidl, Heineken, KFC, Nestlé, and Ford.
His music videos have amassed over half a billion views, including Kodaline’s All I Want, which went viral with over 200 million hits. His first short film Unsaid was a Vimeo Staff Pick.
Recent work includes a Tayto campaign that earned a Silver Shark for Comedy Direction, a Sports Clio for his work with Lidl, and a European Effie for a meaningful campaign with Breast Cancer Ireland—showcasing his range from heartfelt to hilarious.
