M.r. Fitzgerald

M.r. Fitzgerald is a filmmaker and artist from West Central Minnesota whose work deals with the lasting effects of trauma and setting things right in the aftermath. She finds that journey fascinating in others, and allows her to see the catharsis of that journey within herself. Fitzgerald's work combines the scares of horror, the thrills of action-adventure, and the beautiful thoughtfulness of art cinema to make the audience think about their place in the universe and the scheme of humanity while also having a fun time. Her short screenplay, Joe, was Second Rounder at the 2021 Austin Film Festival. Her screenplay, Kindness Coins, was placed at HollyShorts, Screencraft, and The Red List Sci-fi Shorts. It was also considered for production by Hawk Films in London. Her screenplay, The Boneyard, placed at HollyShorts, Atlanta Film Festival, The Script Lab, Film Pipeline, WeScreenplay, FilmQuest, and Shriekfest, won Best Horror Short Screenplay at Austin Revolution Film Festival, the Grand Prize at Barnstorm, and is available to purchase on Amazon as a 13Horror.com winner. She won 7 Best Screenplay awards for her script, People in A Box, which was placed at BlueCat, Renegade Film Festival, Golden Script Competition, and Atlanta Film Festival. Her other films and screenplays have been featured in countless film festivals and screenplay competitions nationally and internationally.
