Niall began writing and directing movies in the UK at the end of the 1980s, after graduating with First Degree Honours in Drama from Bristol University.
Born and raised in the Midlands, his passion for movies is a result of a childhood spent producing epic remakes of the likes of ‘Planet of the Apes’, ‘Star Trek’, ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Batman’ with his older brother and a Kodak 8mm film camera – the most notable recurring feature being his mother’s laundry hanging on the line in the back-garden!
