Kian Doherty

Aspiring Filmaker at AUB

This is me, Kian Doherty, in the picture. I have made films and plan to make more. I have a unique skill set and have been featured at a couple of film festivals. I'm grateful for the opportunity to keep growing as a creative, hopefully making stuff until I can make it into a full-time job

The love of my life.

As a child, I was deeply fascinated by art. I would spend hours cycling through songs, films, and stories constantly absorbing whatever I could get my hands on, even if I didn’t fully understand it. I distinctly remember my mother, concerned, wondering if there was something "wrong" with her obsessive little shit. But that obsession, that unrelenting curiosity, was always a part of me.Unfortunately, I'm quite quiet, which has always come across as tricky to me. I often kept to myself or blurted out like a devolved bipolar monkey. Like Elphaba from Wicked, ostracised by society, unleashing my vicious wrath via film.As I grew up, I had many love interests, all of which crashed and burnt as quickly as they began, although never for lack of trying. I often wrote romantic love songs to confess my affection. That was, at least, until the LOVE OF MY LIFE (LOML) came into my world: a gorgeous 88-key Yamaha piano. It’s comforted me in times of trouble, and I’ve been bashing away at the damn thing ever since.

Awards.

I've been lucky enough to win some awards for my films. At the end of college, I won 3 Woscars, along with being featured at the Herts film fest winning an honourable mention.
