“We caught up with writer, director, and producer Paul Duane ahead of the Irish premiere of his film All You Need is Death at the Cork International Film Festival.
In a career spanning over twenty years, Paul Duane has worked in both television and as a documentary filmmaker. He has co-created television series such as The Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Amber, as well as directing episodes of Ballykissangel, Casualty, and more. His recent documentaries have focused on both musicians and musicology (While You Live Shine, Very Extremely Dangerous), and now his debut fiction feature film will explore similar characters and themes through the lens of horror.
All You Need is Death follows young couple Anna and Aleks collecting folk ballads, the rarer the better. Following a tip from a fellow collector, they secretly record a song so ancient that it is in a forgotten dialect. But once they begin to translate the song, they discover the reason why it was never meant to be passed on."
