HIS STORY

Paireac Keane is an award-winning filmmaker, commercial videographer, and certified drone operator, driven by a profound passion for visual storytelling.

In 2015, after years of working as a freelance videographer, the Offaly native founded King Tree Media, a production company dedicated to producing films, documentaries, and high-end video content. Since launching his business, Keane has delivered hours of captivating content for a diverse range of clients, including businesses, brands, video agencies, and local authorities.

As a filmmaker, Keane has achieved notable success on both the Irish and international film festival circuits. His debut short film, A TIMELY GIFT (2017), earned him the Rising Star Award at the 12th Underground Short Film Awards. His follow-up film, WORMHOLE IN THE WASHER (2021), received numerous accolades at film festivals, including Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Film, and Best Editor.

As a commercial videographer, Keane thrives on every aspect of the production process—embracing the creativity of writing, the technical challenges of shooting, and the magic of editing. Understanding that every client has a unique story, he is committed to finding the most impactful way to bring their vision to life.

When he’s not behind the camera, Keane can be found strategising over his fantasy football team, attempting 5K runs, or playing indoor football with his imaginative and football-obsessed five-year-old son.
