Twenty nine year old Cinematographer
Ivan McCullough has been involved in film making for over ten
years. He began at Marino V.E.C. and then at Collaiste Dhulaigh
where he studied broadcasting. His graduate diploma film, “Biological
Maintenance Department”(1997) enjoyed great success at
the Galway Film Fleadh in 1997.
Ivan commenced a degree in Irelands National
Film School in Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology
in 1996, where he specialized in Cinematography. During this
time, Ivan worked on a number of award winning shorts, which
included director Barry Dignam’s impressive “Dream
Kitchen”(1999). This short won numerous awards including
Best Irish Short at the Galway Film Fleadh.
Ivan graduated from Dun Laoghaire in late 1999
and went straight into production on the low-budget feature film “Last
Days in Dublin”, which enjoyed a cinematic
release earlier this year.
In February 2000 Ivan shot Ian
Power’s short film “Buskers”,
which won awards for Best Irish Short at the Galway Film
Fleadh, The Cork Film Festival, The Foyle Film Festival,
was nominated for a Turner Classic Short Award at the London
Film Festival, and was part of the Kodak Oscar Run in Los
Angeles.
Since then Ivan has shot a number of other short
films and music videos. He is currently immersed in principal
photography on Lance Daly’s second feature venture “The
Halo Effect”. He shoots almost exclusively on film and
this summer completed the Kodak Cinematography Workshop in New
York, further expanding his knowledge of film and its capabilities
