Biography

Jason started his career as an animator on such features as TVC's The Willows in Winter and the Norwegian hit animated film, Gurin med Reverompa. From there, he went on to direct some of Ireland's best known animated commercials and numerous short films.

His first live-action short, Detained, was a hit at horror festivals and has led to a development deal for his horror feature, Corners, with Princess Pictures in Dublin.

For children, Jason directed Roobarb Custard Too, the follow-up to the 1974 cult classic, and followed that with his own charming animation show for preschoolers, Fluffy Gardens, which has sold worldwide.
