Masters at Work - 24th February
Join us on Tuesday 24th February at 6.30 for 7pm for a special edition of MASTERS AT WORK at the Century Club, 61-63 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LQ, to mark LGBTQ History Month. Hosted by Actor, Presenter and Broadcaster, Q-IFTUK’s Derek Murphy, the evening will feature a deep-dive conversation with three of the most exciting queer Irish writers working in the industry today.
Derek will be chatting with Amy Clarke: the award-winning screenwriter from West Cork, whose debut short film, Sequins, screened at over 24 international festivals (including BAFTA and Oscar qualifiers). Amy is currently developing the stage play Mammy’s House, & her comedy pilot Coming of Age was a 2025 Austin Film Festival Second Rounder.
Also on the panel will be Alan Flanagan, the prolific writer, script editor, and lecturer, with over 15 years of experience. His credits include over 60 episodes of Channel 4’s Hollyoaks (winning a British Soap Award) and the horror audio drama Dark Shadows. A BBC Drama Room alumnus, Alan is currently developing several television projects and a feature-length slasher film.
IFTUK Advisory Group Member, Jack C Irwin, will also be joining them - a graduate of Trinity College Dublin and King’s College London, Jack's work tackles complex historical and social themes. His debut feature film, Charlie Safe Home, explores the intersection of autism and the Great War, while his latest TV thriller, Jihadi Joe, centres on a plot involving the UK’s first openly gay Muslim Prime Minister.
The workshop will be followed by networking at the Century Club.
