My name is Marc-Ivan O’Gorman, and I am a story-maker. The medium doesn’t matter to me. Stage, screen, radio, print or immersive media, it’s all good; my goal is to take the audience on a compelling journey.

I am particularly fascinated by history, art and culture. I love to explore these subjects in my writing, using humour and drama to educate, provoke, and entertain.

It has been a serpentine journey thus far, from writing a feature film in Hollywood to TV commercials in India to radio plays in Ireland. I am excited to see what’s around the next bend.

He contributed some very funny and witty scripts for ‘Dorg Van Dango’, episodes I am very proud of. He is a joy to work with and I can wholeheartedly recommend him.”

“I have known Marc-Ivan for many years, he’s a colleague and a friend. I often seek his input and advice on all things Hollywood/creative. He’s one of the most knowledgeable persons I know when it comes to film and literature. But beyond that, he simply knows how to get things done.”
