Simon Fitzmaurice : 2015
It's Emily's 16th birthday and it's been a long time since she received a letter from her father, a writer who has spent the last two years in a far off psychiatric institution. Emily, a lonely, thoughtful girl, is consumed by fragmented memories of her happy childhood, her loving mother and her charismatic father. These memories are darkened by her mother's untimely death and her father's subsequent psychological breakdown. Now Emily is living in a bleak estate with foster parents. After meeting a fellow outsider at her new school, Emily and her handsome ally, Arden, decide to embark on a road trip adventure across Ireland to find her missing father. They are an odd couple, this pale girl and the boy in the velvet suit. Along the way, they find love as well as some hard and unexpected truths, and Emily learns that she must face her father's madness in order to come to terms with the past that binds her. Simon Fitzmaurice's feature debut won the award for Best Cinematography when it premiered at Galway Film Fleadh 2015.
