Paddy's filmmaking has so far straddled forms of fiction, documentary, and experimental sound + image making. His projects have consistently reflected a DIY sensibility – perhaps influenced by his upbringing and the artistic communities that reared him.

He is an advocate of shooting on FILM. Through both Dogmilk and Artist Film Workshop (AFW) collectives, Paddy is regularly and actively involved in presenting films, sharing film knowledge, and instructing workshops – primarily for people interested in working with 16mm and Super 8 film. His immersion within these communities inspires him to pursue filmmaking as a collaborative process. 

Paddy’s films have been presented in curated programs at major international film festivals and film institutions, some of which include: The Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, Austrian Film Museum, San Francisco Cinematheque, and Melbourne International Film Festival. He has also shown work at a raft of artist-run film labs, micro-cinemas, universities and independent cinemas throughout Europe, Asia and North & South America.
