My name is Kathleen Murtagh and I have an MA in Scriptwriting from UEA, where I honed my skills in screenwriting, focusing on short and feature films in the horror and psychological thriller genres. I have worked as a script editor on films, honing the dialogue to match the intended tone of the project. I am currently in development for a horror short film and theatre piece, both coming later in 2026. I am experienced on working on films with minimal locations and a set budget, ensuring we get the highest level of creativity out of the tools available. In my role as an editor, I am used to working in a team, furthered by my other roles on film sets as a runner and script supervisor.
