‘You’re Ugly Too’ wins Best Screenplay Award at Athens
07 Oct 2015 : Seán Brosnan
Written and directed by Mark Noonan and starring Aidan Gillen and Lauren Kinsella
There has been further awards success for Mark Noonan’s ‘You’re Ugly Too’ after winning the Best Screenplay award at the Athens Film Festival.

Its latest award comes after it won the Best Screenplay award at the Skip City Film Festival in Japan, in addition to the Best Irish First Feature award at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh and the SDGI Director’s Finders Series. It was also nominated for the Best First Feature Award at the Berlinale Festival, where it had its premiere in Official Selection.

Written and directed by Mark Noonan, ‘You’re Ugly Too’ stars Aidan Gillen (‘Game of Thrones’) as Will, who is released from prison on compassionate leave to care for his niece Stacey (Lauren Kinsella; ‘Albert Nobbs’), after the death of her mother. As they both head into the sleepy Irish midlands and attempt to be a family, they suffer a series of setbacks; Stacey is refused admission to the local school because of her recently developed narcolepsy; Will repeatedly comes close to breaking his prison-ordered curfew; and his attempts at being a father figure to her prove disastrous.

‘You’re Ugly Too’ was produced by John Keville and Conor Barry for Savage Productions and was written and directed by Mark Noonan. The film was funded by the Irish Film Board and is scheduled to screen at the OFFline Film Festival in Birr on Friday, October 9th.
