A student at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology has won this year's Warner Bros. Ireland scholarship.
Ciarán Dooley, an MA Screenwriting student at The National Film School, was chosen for his "extremely talented" work.
Donald Taylor Black, Creative Director of The National Film School (NFS) at IADT, said: "We're absolutely delighted that Warner Bros. has renewed its commitment to the NFS in general and our MA Screenwriting programme in particular.
"Ciarán is one of a group of extremely talented students here at IADT and we're confident that he will take this opportunity to progress a very promising career."
Now in its second year, the scholarship will provide Ciarán with postgraduate funding support and the experience of a short paid placement at Warner Bros. Ireland’s Dublin offices, as well as access to screenings and mentoring support from Warner Bros. executives.
Warner Bros. has a storied film-making history in Ireland, most notably the 1996 production of Michael Collins, which became the country’s top-grossing film on release and still remains the highest grossing Irish film of all time.
