Will Maloney – NI ’10
Will left PPI-NI in June 2010. He has since stayed on in Belfast working as a film director and running his own voluntary organization, Interface Diaries. Interface Diaries uses video and creative media to create dialogue between young people living in segregated communities throughout Belfast. Interface Diaries ran a successful pilot in the spring, and are back working with more young people this fall and winter for the second installment. The aim is to make Interface Diaries a long-term program that uses a fresh concept to create a lasting impact. You can see a small clip here.
In the spring, Will wrote and directed a short film, “2p,” that competed in a competition for Virgin Media UK and was sold to a distributor stateside. You can check it out here. He is currently working on another film, “Cowboys and Dissidents” with Northern Ireland Screen, which will go into production in November.
