Macdara Kelleher

Macdara Kelleher’s fingerprints are all over some pretty wild movie projects, honestly. Let’s start with The F Word (2013)—yeah, the title turns heads, but it’s really a witty, offbeat rom-com that refuses to play by the rules. Daniel Radcliffe ditching his wizard robes for awkward, charming banter, while Zoe Kazan brings in quirky energy that's hard to resist. The whole thing is drenched in snappy dialogue, real-life messiness, and a sense of humor that's just the right amount of self-deprecating. It's not your cookie-cutter love story; it’s more like that moment when you’re stuck between friendship and something more, and no one seems to have the manual. Jump to 65 (2023), and you’re not in Toronto cafés anymore. No, get this—Adam Driver crash-lands on prehistoric Earth. Dinosaurs everywhere. It’s got this gritty survival vibe, lots of suspense, and a father-daughter dynamic that sneaks up on you emotionally. The action scenes? Pretty intense. The design of those creatures, the bleak landscapes—it’s all kind of beautiful and terrifying at the same time. You’re rooting for Driver’s character, even when things get totally bonkers. Now, Drop (2025) is shrouded in secrecy at this point, but if you look at Kelleher’s track record, you can probably expect something that takes a sharp left turn when you least expect it. He’s got a knack for picking scripts that are a bit off-kilter, maybe even a little risky, but always entertaining. If his past projects are anything to go by, Drop’s gonna be one to watch.
