Oisín McKeogh is a writer/director from rural Ireland. A Fulbrighter and George Moore Scholar, Oisín is a Directing Fellow at the American Film Institute Conservatory.
As a directing major at the National Film School in Dublin, Oisín was awarded “Screen Directors Guild of Ireland Director of the Year” award. He recently received funding from the ENGINE film scheme for his short film “Call Me Anon”, which has now completed post-production. He is currently developing his TV series “Big Super Mega Genius” as part of Screen Ireland’s flagship screenwriting talent development programme, Spotlight.
Oisín’s short film “Tough Love” was selected for Oscar and BAFTA qualifying film festivals, from Nashville to Foyle to NFFTY, and screened in competition at CamerImage 2025. It received nominations at both the Kinsale Shark Awards and the Emerging Directors Awards. Other shorts of his have screened at various international festivals across Ireland, the UK, Europe and America.
He is interested in darkly comedic stories that explore the absurdity of human behaviour and relationships, and wants to highlight lesser-seen perspectives.
“As a filmmaker, I’m drawn to campy, often surreal stories about lonely people trying to find their way in life.”
