Biography

William O'Keeffe was born in Glengoole. He resided at the Devil's Bit until he was 23 years old. He began making films at the age of 7. He developed 9.5mm reels of film using a unique method involving morning dew and oil from leftover salmon. His 9.5mm black and white shorts are preserved, but they have never been publicly shown as no one owns a 9.5mm projector anymore.
