Glenn McQuaid, a talented writer-director, was born and raised in North County Dublin, Ireland, where he developed a strong foundation for his future endeavors. Prior to entering the film industry, McQuaid worked as a visual effects artist and art director in the advertising world, honing his skills in both creative and technical aspects.
His initial foray into cinema came when he collaborated with Ti West on the visual effects for The Roost and with Larry Fessenden on The Last Winter.
