We Are Moving - Memories of Miss Moriarty
Type:
We Are Moving – Memories of Miss Moriarty is an intimate portrait of Joan Denise Moriarty. From the 1940's until her death in 1992 Joan Denise fought to bring ballet to all corners of Ireland. She set up two professional companies and one amateur company and inspired generations of Irish men and women who would otherwise never have been exposed to the art of ballet. This film celebrates the artist, the dancer and the woman who was best known, loathed, and loved as Miss Moriarty.

Bio:
Hi thanks for visiting my site. You'll find clips and trailers of some of my films here. I direct both documentary and fiction film. At the moment I'm in development with my debut feature film Sunlight with writer Ailbhe Keogan and producer Roisín Geraghty and Blinder Films. We were selected by Screen Ireland's POV scheme for female talent and are delighted to be in such a position. Two years ago we made a short film called Take Me Swimming together. It premiered at the Cork Film Festival in November 2017. The amazing cast includes Barry Ward, Olwen Fouere and BJ Hogg. Most recently we were nominated for Best Drama and Best Irish Short at the Fastnet Short Film Festival in Schull Co. Cork and won Best Kerry Short at the Kerry Film Festival. Take Me Swimming will be broadcast on RTÉ2 on 25th November.
