About Niall

PAGE Award-winning freelance screenwriter repped by Peter Katz of Story Driven in Los Angeles. Most recently wrote two episodes on season two of MGM/Netflix's historical action adventure series "VIKINGS: VALHALLA." Currently shopping 'THE LIE DETECTORS', a period TV crime drama - the series bible and spec pilot script are both available on request. Spec scripts for both feature film and television are also available on request.

My feature screenplay NEXT OF KIN won the Gold Prize in the Thriller/Horror Category in the 2015 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards and was signed by Peter Katz of Story Driven in Los Angeles. Later that year, my feature screenplay SHADOW OF THE BLACKBIRD won the Bronze Prize in the Thriller/Horror Category in the 2015 World Series of Screenwriting Awards. I have a Masters in Screenwriting for Film and Television from the National Film School, and I was the first recipient of Screen Ireland's talent development mentorship award in 2015.

I have previously worked as a Storyliner on RED ROCK, a multi-award-winning Irish crime-drama series. I wrote and co-produced 'THE HIT PRODUCER', a feature crime thriller. I also produced 'BUTTERFLY', a short film, directed by Cathal Black. I have a raft of spec feature and TV projects at various stages of development.
