Caroline Farrell Screenwriter

In my capacity as a Stowe Launch Fellow 2023, it was such an honour to spend a week in Stowe, Vermont, working on the pilot episode for my TV Series, LADY BETH.

In beautiful surroundings, and a community of like-minded writers, the week was filled with insight and affirmation from workshops, panel discussions, meetings with mentors, and peer group sessions.

A very special thank you to the Stowe Story Lab founders David Rocchio and David Pope for their kindness and expertise in all aspects of the screenwriters journey, and to Katerina and Kerry who truly nurtured the group in a most pleasant and encouraging environment. The support from the Stowe Team has been immeasurable!

Stowe Story Labs offer many fellowships, retreats, labs and opportunities for screenwriters, so check out their website HERE

I highly recommend that you do!

I want to share massive appreciation to Stowe Story Labs, Screen Ireland and the Galway Film Fleadh for awarding me the ‘Stowe Story Labs/Galway Film Fleadh Marketplace Fellow 2023’, and also huge respect to the talented screenwriters, producers, speakers and supportive mentors I had the opportunity to work with and be inspired by during the inaugural Connemara Writers Retreat 2022. I’m excited to be awarded this amazing opportunity and to be moving forward with my feature screenplay, IONA’S HOUSE.

I would encourage more Irish screenwriters to apply for the many wonderful opportunities that Stowe Story Labs currently offer. Through their partnerships with Screen Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen and the Galway Film Fleadh, they provide support and encouragement to progress your work through a highly professional and personable process, not to mention the nurturing atmosphere of Renvyle House!
