It's Emily's 16th birthday and for the first time in her life, doesn't receive a birthday card from her Dad. After meeting a fellow outsider at her new school, Emily and her handsome ally, Arden, decide to embark on a road trip adventure across Ireland to find her missing father. They are an odd couple, this pale girl and the boy in the velvet suit, and along the way, they find love as well as some hard and unexpected truths.Shortly after his second short film The Sound of People premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, director Simon Fitzmaurice was diagnosed with MND/ ALS in 2008. Now completely paralysed, Fitzmaurice typed the script for the film, as well as his best-selling book It's Not Yet Dark through the movement of his eyes and iris recognition technology. This is also how he communicated to direct the film over it's six week shoot. My Name is Emily is the life-enhancing story starring Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter), Michael Smiley (The Lobster) and newcomer George Webster (City of Dreamers) and boasts an amazing soundtrack including James Vincent McMorrow, who composed a song specifically for the film, Lisa Hannigan, Cat Dowling, Liza Flume, Hudson Taylor, Lisa Mitchell, Printer Clips and Jake Bugg.
