Award winning unproduced script REGRET!
"My hope for the story of this script is that it finds its way to someone, who hears its message in time to act on it, hence causing them to create a better life for themselves. That must surely be the grandest of all hopes for the writer, but I have no regrets in stating such lofty ideals."
- Yvonne Coughlan
Regret is an award winning unproduced short film screenplay written by Yvonne Coughlan in response to an idea by her great friend and film making colleague Maurice Supple.
Award winning short film An Étude in Art!
"Our film goes out in the continued support of 'Cork Samaritans', with our hopes that someone who needs to, will see it at the right time, and make that call. Art is an exploration of life, just as this creator's life is an exploration of art.’ Yvonne Coughlan

Synopsis: In this experimental short film, An Étude in Art, the characters of the struggling writer, the student dancer and the famous musician are reflections of the artist's dreams and fears, and the refractions of memories within a dream. This predominantly black and white film, created as a response to its score Liszt/Paganini - Étude No. 6 "Tema e Variazioni" in A minor, explores the artist's objectives and desires. The art of silent film is saluted as the predecessor of this digital age, by including it as a trope, as well as the creative vehicle for presentation of its several storylines. The inherent frustrations in the creation of art is the all-encompassing theme.

Embrace the World by Kevin Walsh - Award winning Music Video
Kevin's single reached No. 1 on release
Now the music video is winning awards:
BEST DRAMA!
Rome Music Video Awards
Best Female Director: Yvonne Coughlan
Although the song is produced in a multi-vocal construct, Kevin's solo performance on the Six O’Clock Show (Virgin Media) and at the Aviva Stadium for key Irish autism advocates including Adam Harris, Stefanie Preissner and Dervla Burke, began its journey to the public.
Described by MusicNGear as “soaring and symphonic”, the supergroup arrangement features vocal styles such as folk, hard rock and musical theatre, which in Kevin’s words “is designed to aurally reflect the spectrum of Autism as a diagnosis.”
