Influenced by Jean Vigo, Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman, and Andy Warhol, McQueen started making short films.

He made his feature-length directorial debut with the historical drama Hunger (2008), which focused on the 1981 Irish hunger strike, followed by the erotic, psychosexual drama Shame (2011), which explored sex addiction.

Sometimes you meet someone, maybe meet isn't the right word. You dont even have say hello for this to happen. you simply pass by them and everything in your world changers forever. Chills flow all the way from the crook in your neck where you imagine he'd kiss you, all the way dow, with only a single glance. I know you know what im referring to. The moment when something inside of you ignites to life will go back to what it was. These moments are never forgotten. Thats only with a single glance. I can tell you what a single touch will do. It will destroy you and everything you thought you knew. I felt all of this with Jase Cross, every flick of the flames that roared inside of me. I knew he'd be my downfall, and i was determined to be his just the same.
