Brían Dungan

Despite showing early promise by winning an MTV/Ericsson Short Script Award in 1999 and a BBC New Writer Award in 2002, we almost lost Brían to the dark arts of the film industry. Over a fifteen-year career in the camera department, Brían worked on projects such as World War Z, Game Of Thrones, Brooklyn and Black Mirror. Having labored primarily on screenplays through much of that time, Brían eventually turned his attention to long-form prose and is now completing his debut novel.

Brían aims to be the latest in a long and distinguished line of published authors from his home town of Skerries, in Dublin, where he lives with his long-suffering wife and three daughters.
