Mairtín de Barra

Mairtín’s basically been in the film and TV game forever—over two decades, if you’re counting. The guy’s worn every hat you can imagine: producer, director, line producer, even location manager back in the day. He’s not just floating around either; his work’s actually picked up some serious nods, like Emmy and Kidscreen nominations. That’s not something you just stumble into while making your morning coffee. He’s got credits with the likes of RTÉ, Setanta Ireland, and the BBC, and not just a quick gig here or there. He actually spent five years right in the thick of it at the BBC, doing the whole self-shooting producer/director thing. Think docs, artsy entertainment series, and even short films for The One Show. It’s not just mainstream stuff—he’s got his fingerprints all over the place, from gritty movies like ‘The General’ to smash-hit series like ‘Love/Hate.’ Honestly, Mairtín’s career reads like a highlight reel for anyone who’s ever wanted to work in film or TV. He doesn’t just churn out content; there’s always something extra, some spark that makes his projects punch above their weight. He’s still got that fire for storytelling, always chasing ways to make each bit of content more than just a checklist. If you’re looking for someone with a wild mix of experience and a reputation for delivering the goods, this is your guy.
