‘True Detective’, ‘Extraordinary’ & ‘Faithless’ Scribes Talk Challenges In Writing Returnable TV As Inaugural Screenwriting Fest Storyhouse Kicks Off In Dublin

The event, which is the brainchild of Poor Things production and distribution powerhouse Element Pictures, is aiming to celebrate storytellers and writers in the Irish capital. “We just thought that having an event that focuses on the art and craft of screenwriting and storytelling and explores talk about it in all forms would be a great idea for us here in Ireland because there is such a rich heritage here,” said Guiney.
