Evanna Lynch in first on-set footage from 'My Name is Emily'
The first on-set look at Evanna Lynch's new movie, My Name is Emily, was released by the Irish Times this week, focusing on director Simon Fitzmaurice, who suffers from an advanced stage of Motor Neuron Disease (MND/ALS). More on Fitzmaurice's journey to make his first film can be read here; the behind-the-scenes footage with the Harry Potter actress is below.

Simon Fitzmaurice: “The reason for making My Name is Emily is the same for every film or piece of writing – a passion for the work, a creative drive that’s been with me since I was a teenager,” he explains via email.
“To manage to do this with MND, to overcome all that that puts in my way, shows me how much it means to me. Making a feature film is like a writer moving from short stories to their first novel. To spend this precious time I have doing something that fulfills me at the deepest level, that echoes in my soul.”
Evanna Lynch: My name is Evanna Lynch and I’m playing Emily in this movie. Emily is a 16-year-old girl. She’s living with foster parents at the moment because her mother has died and her dad has been taken to asylum, and she thinks he’s fine. She’s just someone who is very sure of what she’s saying. She has this inner confidence and is grounded.
