Anthony O’Keeffe is an award-winning writer and storyteller with over 25 years’ experience in film, television, and media. He spent 15 years as a senior scriptwriter on Fair City, Ireland’s leading television drama, and has worked across scores of films as a scriptwriter, editor and creative consultant.
