The 24-Hour Universal Design Challenge

The first Irish 24-Hour Universal Design Challenge. The brief: 5 teams – comprising 50 design professionals – were each teamed with a design partner, who had various types of physical disabilities. Each team had to come up with a universal design concept for a Dublin street, taking into account their design partner’s particular needs, but which would be usable by everyone. And they only had 24 hours to come up with those concepts!

Look My Way

Look My Way tells the story of a young woman in a wheelchair whose struggle for independence is hampered by inequality and prejudice.

Stories That Make An Impact

Fiona’s films:

(a) are inspired by social injustices on which she reported during her career as a broadcast journalist such as war, police brutality, global terrorism, political corruption, exploitation of natural resources, miscarriages of justice, suicide, racism, surrogacy, addiction, bullying, adoption, bereavement, destruction of heritage, and the pursuit of inclusion and equality.

(b) are hugely marketable because they:

  • are based on high concepts (and often true stories)
  • have a gripping opening
  • always feature compelling characters
  • are full of complex, subtextual dialogue
  • have an impactful ending

Her directing skills are further enhanced by her experience in various production roles on short films: editor, camera operator, sound editor, sound recordist, boom operator, casting director, production manager, first assistant director.
