Oisin Queally

My full name is Oisin Ramone Queally. Yes, that’s Ramone like the band. There was only ever one way this was going to go!

Four years ago, I arrived in film school with a head full of Hitchcock and a camera I barely knew how to use. Since then, I’ve written, directed, edited, operated cameras, lugged gear through rain, lost sleep over exports, and learned that the best way to grow is to just get stuck in.

I’ve come to absolutely love every part of the process - whether I’m behind the lens, editing at a screen, or knee-deep in a chaotic timeline at 11pm. My favourite work is carefully crafted but never stiff; it’s cinematic but still full of life. I’ve always been drawn to filmmakers like Hitchcock or Spielberg for their precision, and Spike Jonze or John Cassavetes for their joyful madness. I try my best to live somewhere between these two philosophies.

My background as a musician helps too. I like things to have structure, rhythm and flow but there's nothing like those magic, improvised moments where instinct can just take over and the whole scene can take on a new life.

My time here has been thoroughly enjoyable. I feel like I’ve found myself and come to discover so much about the artform I love. Filmmaking is a discipline, but it’s also play. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of seeing it all come together. That’s the reward and that’s the addiction. I can’t wait to continue developing as a director, editor and cinematographer and bringing forward unique and interesting stories.
