Joe Murtagh Writer Joe Murtagh is a London born Irish writer. He comes from a family of carpenters and labourers, though it's been said that Joe himself "couldn't hammer a nail straight", and after some site experience, he would wholeheartedly agree. So, he's making a good go of writing. Joe's first feature, CALM WITH HORSES (DMC Film/Element Pictures/Film4), adapted from a short story of the same name by Colin Barrett, was directed by Nick Rowland and starred Cosmo Jarvis, Niamh Algar and Barry Keoghan. The film premiered at TIFF 2019 to critical and audience acclaim, and was recently nominated for 5 BAFTA Awards (including Outstanding British Film). It also picked up 10 BIFA nominations (including Best British Independent Film and Debut Screenwriter) and 5 IFTA nominations (including Best Film and Best Script). Joe was a 2016 Screen International Star of Tomorrow. He is currently developing a number of features including DREADFUL NED (DMC Film), with Michael Fassbender attached, and THE KITCHEN (DMC Film/Film4), alongside Daniel Kaluuya, which will be Kibwe Tavares’ debut feature. For television, Joe is developing an original series called THE WOMAN IN THE WALL (Motive Pictures) with Georgi Banks-Davies (I HATE SUZIE) attached to direct. He is currently writing on SAY NOTHING for FX and Color Force, a limited series based on New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe's book of the same name.
