This is a repository of the creative work of Dom Fegan.
Dom has been a member of the art department of comedic drama series Moonshine for its first 3 seasons. Graphic prop building, set pieces and playback cover the majority of the workload. From the mind of show-runner Sheri Elwood, the show is set in his home province of Nova Scotia and features a cast of renowned Canadian talent. It centers around the antics of a dysfunctional family, the Finley-Cullens, trying to keep their shit together long enough to keep their beloved beach-side campground afloat. The nature of the show perennially offers Dom opportunities to express his creativity while contributing to the world building of this comedic series.
A Halifax accountant with a penchant for precision immerses himself in the ancient art of sacred geometry. With a sweet sense of humour, Bert shares how his meticulous drawings helped him to heal.

Bert was Dom’s accountant and they struck up a friendship while doing Dom’s taxes on a yearly basis. Bert shared his artwork with Dom, leading to this exploration of art, mental health and the fascinating mind of Bert Hache.
Baduk is a beautiful short film about learning to cherish and appreciate the moments you have with family while they’re still around. Told through the eyes of a daughter, who learned to play the South Korean strategy game Baduk from her mother, she endeavours to have the memory live on in her own child’s mind by passing the joy of playing the game on to her. Dom had the privilege of production designing this film for his friend Induk Lee. It has been received very well, winning the Best Short Film at the 2022 Screen Nova Scotia Awards, and featured on CBC’s Short Film Face-Off

This time, the boys are in jail and will do anything they can do smuggle booze and dope in, rather than try to break out.

Stuck in a rut? dead-end job? Just waiting to punch the clock?
This music video, made with serial collaborator Devarrow let us have fun at a ValuVillage Thrift Store after hours with some great friends. Running up and down the aisles, we took the title of the song literally - exploring the idea of clothing being an outward expression of your personality. Whether you’re comfortable sharing that with the rest of the world depends on the situation, but it’s fun to try things on for size every once in a while.
PAPER THIN was made thanks to the support of the Atlantic Filmmaker's Cooperative, which provides the opportunity for emerging filmmakers to create their first short through a program called FILM 5.
Since it’s premiere at the Atlantic Film Festival, PAPER THIN has played at festivals across North America, picking up award nominations along the way.

In the spring of 2019, Dom and Graham of Devarrow set out to make three music video concepts come to life in a short window of time. Graham was off to go tree planting for the summer but had just signed a record deal with Paperbag Records so needed some content to go along with the release of the album. These two were edited by Brendon Wilson of Beechwood Productions and Keith Mitchell was the DOP. It was a guerilla-style effort shot over the course of a few days in Springtime Halifax, Nova Scotia. Crashed Cars has been nominated for an East Coast Music Award’s Fan’s Choice Video of the Yer.
