Colm Teague

Colm from Dromore, County Tyrone, uses filmmaking to advocate for change. He has worked on video productions addressing prevalent issues in Ireland today, including homelessness, addiction, hate crime and social exclusion.

Having worked with Voicing the Void, a community interest company based in Belfast which utilises restorative storytelling to foster personal growth and societal change, Colm has immersed himself in the intricacies of conveying lived experience through video.

During his SCI fellowship, Colm will create a documentary examining how big tech exploits people’s attention, fuelling division and spreading misinformation. His project will highlight how the lack of face-to-face interaction erodes empathy, contributing to rising hate crimes in the UK.
