DIRECTOR AND EDITOR
About Me
I'm Carleton, an award-winning director and editor hailing from Belfast where my passion for storytelling drives my work.
My short films have premiered at Academy Award® and BAFTA qualifying film festivals across the globe and won multiple awards.
My latest film Calamity Wayne is currently entering its film festival run. It won the Audience Award for Best Irish Short at its world premiere in the Cinemagic Film Festival in October 2026.
Calamity Wayne is currently a nominee for Best Northern Irish Short at the British Short Film Awards.
Vision. Craft. Story.
I am the CEO of the production company Apex Pictures.
I also serve as Head of Post-Production at Richter Sports where I lead and mentor the edit team, ensuring we deliver world-class broadcast and social content for global clients such as PFL, Matchroom Boxing, Queensberry Promotions and DAZN.
In October 2026, it was announced that the PFL Dubai Cold Open that I directed was shortlisted at the Broadcast Sports Awards.
