FIRST LOOK! Presentation of New Screenwriting Feb 9th. Join Us! Free Admission.

FIRST LOOK! Presentation of New Screenwriting Feb 9th. Join Us!         Free Admission.

COME JOIN US for our FIRST LOOK sharing of screenplays at 7:00pm on Thursday February 9th 2023 at Doyles Pub, Upstairs, 9 College Green, Dublin 2

No reservation needed, no charge to enter, just come and enjoy!

We will be sharing a reading of selected scenes from new screenplays from our Experienced Level Screenwriting course taught by Barry McEvoy. Professional actors will be performing the roles. Featured writers include: Martina McGrath, Michael Anthony McKiernan, Tommy Hughes, Ian McCall, Conor Purcell, Shelley Coleman and Sinead Ralston.

The writers for this “Screenwriting- Experienced Level” course were selected from submitted writing samples or from “Introduction to Screenwriting” course participants. Class size was limited  in order to provide the highest quality of tuition. Over the past 3 months, they have been writing under the inspired guidance of Barry. More than just a formulaic re-hashing of Hollywood writing advice, this course has creatively delved into the individual voices of these writers to bring original, dynamic and engaging scripts to fruition. 

OUR CAST FOR FEBRUARY 9th
Very grateful for this top notch professional cast reading the screenplays on the night:
Georgina McKevitt, Lynette Callaghan, Johanna Thea, Megan O’Donell, Brian Mallon, Steve Gunn, Rory Dignam and Aaron Katambay.

 

Barry McEvoy the course facilitator, has over 25 years professional experience in Theatre, Television and Film, collaborating with world renowned artists in the U.S., Ireland and U.K. He wrote and acted in the Barry Levinson, Dreamworks production An Everlasting Piece. As an actor or writer he has collaborated with renowned industry professionals including; Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad), Joel Schumacher (Veronica Guerin) Sidney Lumet (Dog Day Afternoon), Karel Reisz (The French Lieutenant’s Woman) and Oliver Hirschbiegel (Five Minutes of Heaven). He has written feature screenplays for Artisan/Summit and Dreamworks and, completed rewrites for Workhorse Films, Parallel Pictures and Touchstone. Variety Magazine awarded him Screenwriter to Watch (2000) and he carries an MFA in Playwriting from The LIR academy, Trinity College. His extensive theatre CV includes work by Harold Pinter, W.B. Yeats, John Osborne, Brian Friel, Wendy Wasserstein, Samuel Beckett, Conor McPherson and Vaclav Havel and, he is a founding member of Scena Theatre, Washington DC.
