Gerard Lough is a renowned Irish film director, whose career in the industry began in 2003 when he directed a music video during an internship at an American advertising agency. Since then, he has accumulated an impressive portfolio of work, including twelve music videos and numerous critically acclaimed short films, such as the Stephen King adaptation 'The Boogeyman' (2010),which garnered extensive press coverage and was screened at film festivals worldwide.
Lough's feature film debut was 'Night People' (2015),a groundbreaking "hyperlink" horror film that showcased his unique visual style and ability to craft a sinister atmosphere. The film received widespread critical acclaim upon its release in November 2015, further solidifying his signature style.
His second feature, the ambitious neo-noir 'Spears' (2022),is a testament to his versatility as a director. Shot in four different countries, the complex story follows three desperate men as they join forces to exact revenge on a master criminal.
In a departure from his usual dark and suspenseful themes, Lough returned to short films with 'Waiting for Magic Hour' (2024),a heartwarming and lighthearted tale about a photographer and her driver who form an unlikely friendship on a road trip in Donegal, Ireland.
