His film also garnered him both Best Director and Best Short Film Awards at the 2006 Los Angeles International Film & Video Festival. WHAT IF also won the coveted Audience Award at the 2007 Chicago Irish Film Festival.

Alan has worked in the film industry for 28 years. He served as 2nd Unit Director for the Fox TV series MYSTIC KNIGHTS.

Alan has also worked as a Stunt Performer on a myriad of projects including THE TUDORS, BRAVEHEART, MICHAEL COLLINS, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, and MY LEFT FOOT.



Over the years Alan has worked closely with some of best-known and respected directors in the world including Mel Gibson, John Boorman, Neil Jordan, Alan Parker, Joel Schumacher, Pen Densham, and Ron Howard.
