In this podcast, Gemma was joined by writer Stephen Shields (The Hole in The Ground, 2019) to chat to Hugh O'Conor about his feature directorial debut debut Metal Heart.
Hugh talks about pitching "Twin Peaks in Terenure" to writer Paul Murray, the development process, a darker version, casting and working with the actors. Hugh explains how his own background as an actor influences his directing and learning from other directors he's worked with as an actor. Finally, Hugh sheds light on getting the soundtrack right, Louise O'Neill's influence on the script and creating a complex bad guy.
