Bio

In 2018, Nessa wrote and directed the short film, Early Days, starring Maimie McCoy (Van Der Valk, Musketeers, White House Farm) and Adrian Bower (Gangs of London, The Last Kingdom), which was screened at numerous Oscar and Bafta-qualifying festivals internationally, winning multiple awards on the festival circuit.

In 2021, Nessa was chosen by the screenwriter/showrunner Lisa McGee (Derry Girls, The Deceived, Being Human) for one-to-one mentorship as part of the ITV Mentorship Scheme with Dancing Ledge Productions. Lisa selected Nessa’s TV project, Reunion, which they developed together. Fifth Season came on board for further development and it is now under consideration by international broadcasters with Lisa attached as an Executive Producer.

Nessa has written episodes of Smother and Blackshore for RTE1 and Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story for BBC1. Her episode of Smother was recently nominated for a Writers Guild Award for Best Drama. She recently wrote an episode of the Irish/Canadian RTE/AMC comedy series SisterS, starring Sarah Goldberg (Barry, Industry).

Nessa was named a Broadcast Hot Shot of 2023. She is writing and directing a feature film through her company KLICK Productions, with Bankside Films co-producing. She is in development on her original series Blood & Water with RTE/Treasure Entertainment and is now adapting Eimear Ryan’s novel Holding her Breath for television, with Nickie Sault's Class 5 and ShinAwil Limited.

In 2025, Nessa was selected to take part in The Creative Connection, a workshop with international film production collective The Creatives. As a result of this scheme, she is now developing an original TV series with Good Chaos.
