Biography

Daly was born and raised in Dublin.[4] He acted occasionally in his youth, including a role as a harmonica-playing extra in The Commitments (1991). He studied communications studies at Dublin City University.[5]

Daly won an IFTA for his first major film, Kisses. According to Paul Whitington (Irish Independent), "Daly was one of a new generation of filmmakers who emerged in the mid-2000s determined to move beyond the stodgy, word-heavy traditions of Irish cinema. In films like Kisses (2008), he used visual lyricism and cinematic storytelling to great effect."[6][7]

In 2013, together with Kirsten Sheridan and John Carney, he established The Factory, a multi-purpose space focusing on film production, in Dublin's docklands.[8]

Black '47, a 2018 revenge film set during Ireland's Great Famine, was a commercial and critical success.[9][10]
