Shortly after his second short film The Sound of People premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, director Simon Fitzmaurice was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (ALS), the debilitating disease for which the viral ice-bucket challenge raised awareness for in September 2014. Now completely paralysed, Fitzmaurice typed the script for the feature film, My Name is Emily, through the movement of his eyes and iris recognition software, Eye Gaze. This is also how he communicated to direct the film across its five week shoot in August and September 2014.
Simon's memoir has recently been adapted into a feature length documentary It's Not Yet Dark which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2017 and is narrated by Colin Farrell.- Writer
