Simon Fitzmaurice honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award at London Screenwriter’s Festival
14 Sep 2016 : Katie McNeice
The Irish Screenwriter and Director behind ‘My Name is Emily’ received the award in Regent’s University, London.

Fitzmaurice presented a special screening of this recent project, followed by a Q&A session. The following day he also gave an afternoon talk on his life and work to date.

The prestigious inaugural award comes with the title ‘The Fucking Awesome Award’ and the ‘My Name is Emily’ crew have heartily agreed.

Screenwriter & Director Simon Fitzmaurice:
“The London Screenwriters Festival was a real eye-opener for me. If you have ever been you will understand. I discovered a thriving screenwriter's community and a festival that is more like a main-line injection of writing motivation. I literally came away buzzing with the will to write. I recommend it like any new addict, a little reluctantly to share. I was lucky enough to be honoured with The Fucking Awesome Award (how my children loved saying that over and over...) and the experience certainly lived up to the title.”
