FIRST LOOK! Sharing of Screenplays November 16th at Doyles

FIRST LOOK! Sharing of Screenplays November 16th at Doyles

COME JOIN US for our FIRST LOOK sharing of screenplay extracts starting at 6:00pm on Thursday November 16th, 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 11 new screenplays from our Experienced Level Screenwriting course taught by Barry McEvoy. Professional actors will be performing the roles (See below).
Featured writers include:  Eoghan Cosgrove, Padraig Murphy, Alisa Kuzmina, Jamie Doyle, Jane Nolan, Clare Fox, Ryan Gould, Jane Mitchell, Martin Wynne, Brendan Kielty and Gemma Bovenizer. 

The writers for these two groups from “Screenwriting- Experienced Level” courses 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 November 16th…
Very grateful for this top notch professional cast reading the screenplays on the night:    
Georgina McKevitt, Clare O’Malley, Emelie Hetland, Gail Brady.
Brian Mallon, Steve Gunn, Rory Dignam and Liam Heslin
