"GOOD directing is the point where great writing, casting, communication and collaboration with cast, crew, and the dev team intersect. After that, it’s all about giving the actors the right amount of freedom and then controlling the terror in the pit of your stomach when you announce that you have the shot in the can.”

Darragh O’Farrell has been casting and directing award winning interactive experiences from the inception of the CD ROM through the wide adoption of performance and likeness capture.

After 18 years at LucasArts, Darragh started The Volume to allow more time to focus on the creative side of interactive storytelling. He has worked on major intellectual properties such as, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Indiana Jones, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Mafia III, and numerous other projects currently in development.

 

Darragh is known for the detailed direction and astute script analyses he brings to his projects. He loves the collaborative process, working with the dev team and the actors, using his experience in script writing, directing, and his love of people watching, to get truthful performances that elevate the interactive medium.

 

Darragh lives with his family in the Bay Area where, when he is not on the road working, is a dedicated soccer dad of two.

The Division

Gunshots make a very particular sound in a desolate city. The noise ricochetes off buildings, echos down alleyways, seems to come from every direction at once. It means danger could come from anywhere at any time, but it also means there's more work to do. So when I step out of a safehouse and steel my nerves, I also grin, just a little.....
