Biography
John Farrelly is an acclaimed Irish filmmaker, best known for directing An Taibhse (The Ghost), the first-ever horror feature film in the Irish language. At the age of 17, Farrelly was named Ireland's Best Young Filmmaker for his short film Choice. Throughout his later school years and college, he went on to direct the award-winning feature film The Sleep Experiment and the Irish language short Difriúil. An Taibhse, set in post-famine Ireland, has garnered critical praise at international festivals, with six-time Oscar nominee Jim Sheridan serving as Executive Producer.
