“PROPAGANDA” trailer
“City in Crisis” is a short film that explores the decline of Dublin through the eyes of a skateboarder, as he navigates the city’s streets, back alleys, and concrete plazas. His journey reveals the harsh realities of defensive architecture, a worsening housing crisis, and the erosion of cultural spaces.
Louis O’Flynn is a DOP, photographer and filmmaker from County Wicklow, Ireland. His award-winning work for The Mix Dublin, the Irish Distillers’ global content studio for markets worldwide, has appeared everywhere, from NYC billboards to Sydney shopping malls and social feeds worldwide.
During six years with The Mix Dublin, his role was as DOP on global launch videos for Jameson, Redbreast, Powers, Midleton, and more. He was also the lead photographer on many digital and social campaigns for The Mix across all their brands.
Louis is accustomed to working with A-list talent. As a social and BTS photographer/videographer on all of Jameson’s TV ads worldwide, he travelled to Johannesburg, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, and London to work on set with leading talent, including Grammy-award-winning rapper TEMS, Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos, and Golden Globe-winning actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
A long-form YouTube series shot by Louis featured Irish comedian and actor Aisling Bea in Dublin and sporting legend Shane Lowry in Florida, while a digital campaign featured hip-hop superstar Anderson.Paak.
Louis’s personal work focuses on subjects that are close to his heart. His short film on surfing, “Medicine for the Mundane”, was screened at festivals worldwide and won “Best Short” at the Jersey Film Festival and the “European Cinematography Award.”Check out “CITY IN CRISIS” trailer HERE.
