Screenwriter
Interned as a suspected republican in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.
Married to Margaret Higgins, a writer. They have a daughter, Oorlagh, and a son, Seamus.
Brother of Catherine George.
Father of Oorlagh George.
Directed two Oscar nominated performances: Don Cheadle and Sophie Okonedo both for Hotel Rwanda .
Did not start writing until he was in his late twenties.
Film today is more and more concentrated on the amusement park element.
If a writer can attach an actor or a producer who has some clout, then,you can arm yourself. Otherwise, a script simply becomes a road map to,attract money and talent.
However, I introduced another character to make it a love triangle.
