She has recently created and directed her own show, Sadie Sparks on Disney Channel. SADIE SPARKS In this supernatural sitcom Sadie is a typical fourteen-year-old girl whose life becomes anything but typical when she finds out she’s actually a wizard. Okay, technically, a wizard-in-training. She is assigned a magical mentor to guide and train her in the form of Gilbert – a very old and grumpy rabbit. Sadie thinks having magical powers is very cool, but nobody had told her about the small print. High school is all-consuming enough without magic studies! However in each other, this odd couple have found the perfect magical match. https://www.brownbagfilms.com/

Episode Three. The Creative Mind: How I tell stories Compelling storytelling builds powerful and lasting connections with audiences in all mediums. Join our leading storytellers as we explore why they choose their medium of film/TV making, literary fiction and novel writing. We explore the evolving relationship between the narrator and the audience and how this impacts storytelling. Is the medium the message and does the artist pick the medium or the medium pick the artist?
A group of writers and directors from across the spectrum of film and television will come together to reflect on the successes and frustrations that occur when trying to adapt a story or novel for the screen. The contributors will take you behind the scenes and offer you advice on adapting your own title as they share stories of heartache and success on their creative journey. We will look at issues such as how to meet expectations of ready-made fans, how reality influences fiction and the challenges to pushing the boundaries of original narratives and disrupting the story. Contributors: Malcolm Campbell, Dearbhla Walsh Facilitator: Steven Benedict Date: Thursday, June 4th, 2015 Venue: The Palace Bar, 21 Fleet Street, Dublin 2
