Signature Work

Woven Between Waves is a poetic short film that explores identity and belonging through the lens of a bicultural young man growing up between Irish and Filipino traditions in coastal Melbourne. Blending family archives, ocean imagery, and spoken reflections, the film meditates on memory, language, and the quiet power of cultural inheritance. With each wave, it reveals how personal history is carried, held, and passed on.
How Artramedia Helped:
Artramedia spotlighted Liam O’Connell’s cultural short Woven Between Waves in its “Diaspora Voices” and “Young Creators” collections, elevating his work to a global audience of educators, curators, and cultural institutions. The platform provided editorial support to refine his film’s narrative arc and facilitated closed-captioning in multiple languages, broadening its accessibility and reach. As a result, Liam was invited to speak on a youth storytelling panel, licensed his film to two international film education programs, and earned creator revenue through bundled classroom licensing, significantly boosting his visibility and funding for future projects.
