- Biography:
- Born in Dublin, Ireland, James became fascinated with movies at age seven, and at age ten, he was already reading books about film-making. At age fourteen, he made his first film, a four-minute short called "Chase." Over the years, he continued making movies, winning many awards, and having his movies shown at prestigious film festivals and competitions worldwide, including the 2007 A.F.I. Dallas International Film Festival and the 2010 Burbank International Film Festival. James originally started reviewing movies when he was still in film school back in Dublin, Ireland, in 1990, and once he moved to the U.S. in 1994, he began pursuing film reviewing once again. Along with his filmmaking, he has many years behind him and hopefully many more ahead. James reviews films for Irish Film Critic and is a member of the Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association.
