Gemma Creagh

Gemma Creagh is a Cork-born writer-director and journalist whose work blends dark humour with emotional weight. She graduated with a First from NUI Galway's Writing MA in 2014 and has since built a versatile career across theatre, television, and film. Her plays have been staged and supported by Axis Theatre, AboutFACE, Barnstorm, and the Arts Council, and she wrote and co-produced the five-part comedy Rental Boys for RTÉ's Storyland.

She is Associate Editor of Film Ireland and a regular film contributor to RTÉ Radio One's Arena.

Her debut funded short film Conveyance premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh 2024 and has since screened at festivals worldwide. Funded by dlr's First Frames Scheme and supported by Creative Ireland, the horror-comedy won Best Cinematography at the Monzo Film Festival and screened to a sold-out audience at the FrightFest Short Film Showcase at the Glasgow Film Festival, where it was the only non-UK title selected.

Creagh is also developing a feature-length adaptation of Conveyance — a darker version in which the couple have broken up but, thanks to the housing crisis, are still stuck living together.
