The Irish Literary Journal REVIVAL will publish an extract from my, as yet, unfinished novel, LADY BETH. The journal edition will be launched on May 8th. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In collaboration with director Vittoria Colonna, I am currently writing a feature script with the working title The Captives, which has been developed from a story, BITE by Vittoria Colonna and Eoin Rogers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Praise for Pixer Knows, my family/fantasy script... “Pixer Knows” is a visually stunning, beautifully written screenplay. The symbolically charged journey taken by the three young friends will appeal to a very wide audience. “Pixer Knows” is a beautifully written, utterly original screenplay which will attract younger and older audiences. The non-stop action, visually stunning special effects and touching story of childhood friendship is a treasure which could be a very successful film. Judge's comments from the PAGE International Screenplay Awards 2010. Pixer Knows reached the finals. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "This script offers a wonderfully original, fun and creative adventure story." Feedback from Bluecat Screenplay Competition 2010. Pixer Knows reached Semi-Finals. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "What a wonderfully engaging and entertaining tale you’ve woven here! Your script has all the elements of a classic children’s fantasy: an unlikely hero, a cruel and heartless villain, a colorful cast of anthropomorphized animals, and a legendary warrior who has to be reminded of what’s worth fighting for. I think you’ve crafted a story that children will truly love, and I especially liked the hilariously whimsical name that Mikey chose for Pixer." Judge's comments from the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition 2010. Pixer Knows reached the Quarter Finals. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
