Information About Joe:


Personal Description:

I am an award-winning Film, Multimedia & TV Director/Producer and a Multimedia Trainer. My film works include the award-winning short films Chiasma (2011) and Room to Let (2003).

As a multimedia trainer I have worked for the University of Ulster, The Skillset Media Academy, Belfast Metropolitan College and on a Cross-Community Multimedia Arts Project (CCMAP) with Lamb Films (Ltd).

I am also a former freelance Photographer. During my time I produced a range of film, music and digital media related works for Albert Productions, Image Entertainment (US) and Amnesty International and various other international clients.

Senior Lecturer of Photography

Tutoring Approach:

One-to-one tutoring and mentoring is the best way to approach any kind of teaching. Each person has one of 3 ways of taking in information and learning new practical skills. In my time at BMC my past students gained high grades and developed their skills and confidence because I always took time to have a one-to-one tutoring sessions with them. This way I could make sure that each individual student was ready for their exam.

As a personal tutor I approach each student in a different way, according to their learning style, ability, skill, confidence (in ability) and confidence (in self)

I also feel that it is very important for students, of creative arts, to be tutored, mentored or taught by a person who is actively working in the creative industries. I also offer careers advice for students.
