Horgan has become one of Ireland's most successful screen talents, as an international writer, director, actress and producer.

She has recently been recognised as one of The Guardian’s top 100 most Powerful People in Media, and she is currently working in New York with Sarah Jessica Parker on her latest TV show Divorce, which she has created, written and co-produced.

As well as this, The Hollywood Reporter recently commented on Sharon's work on Catastrophe, saying that ‘it’s Sharon Horgan's performance that elevates this series'. Variety stated that 'Horgan was half of one of the most captivating couples of the year…. before 2015, we were unfamiliar with Horgan, but now we can’t get enough of her deft and versatile on-screen work.'

Sharon will talk about the television business and her work as a writer, director and actress. She will also share key insights with IFTA Academy Members (Irish film and TV professionals), across multiple Award winning international TV shows such as Catastrophe and Divorce among others.

This event is presented by IFTA as part of the ‘Women in Focus’ series in association with DAVY.
