Paul Laverty

Mini biography
Paul Laverty was born in Calcutta, India, to an Irish mother and Scottish father. He obtained a Philosophy degree at the Gregorian University in Rome. Thereafter he obtained a law degree in Glasgow, Scotland, and went on to do an apprenticeship with two of Scotland's most celebrated lawyers. He became a fully qualified practicing lawyer concentrating on civil and criminal law. (Miscellaneous case-load, from homelessness to preparation of murder trials.) In the mid eighties he travelled to Nicaragua, Central America, and lived there for almost three years. He worked for a Nicaraguan domestic human rights organisation which provided hard evidence of human rights abuses during the war between the Nicaraguan Government (The Sandinistas) and the United States backed "Contras" in which the subject of human rights became highly contested. He travelled to the war-zones and obtained corroborated eye witness accounts which were past on to international human rights organisations. He also travelled widely in El Salvador, during its civil war, and Guatemala too. (His interests in Latin America affairs continued much later with long research trips to Chiapas in Mexico, and along the US - Mexican border concentrating on the city of Juarez.)

After his time in Central America Paul made contact with British director Ken Loach as a result of which he wrote Carla's Song, his first screenplay, starring Bobby Carlyle, followed by My Name is Joe in which Peter Mullan won best actor in the Cannes Film Festival of 2000, followed by Bread and Roses, shot in Los Angeles, starring Adrien Brodie. Paul's next script, Sweet Sixteen won best screenplay award in the Cannes film festival of 2002. Paul and Ken have a very close working relationship now spanning over ten years. Paul has written five full length feature scripts and one short directed by Ken Loach and they have several other projects in development. Both work closely with producer Rebecca O'Brien.

Before writing he likes to immerse himself in the world of the film and carries out detailed research before writing the first draft. While he continues to work with Ken Loach he has other feature projects in development with other directors.

*Shower:Shenzhen businessman, Da Ming, goes home to Beijing when he thinks his father has died. He finds his father hard at work at the family's bathhouse (the false message was a ruse of Da's mentally-handicapped, exuberant brother, Er Ming, to get Da home). Da stays a couple days, observing his father being social director, marriage counselor, and dispute mediator for his customers and a boon companion to Er. Da is caught between worlds: the decaying district of his childhood and the booming south where he now lives with a wife who's not met his family. When Da realizes his father's health is failing and the district is slated for razing, he must take stock of family and future.
