Film In Cork’s next Production Club session takes place on February 18th in the RTE Cork Studios with filmmaker Paul Duane.
Production Club, Film In Cork’s training initiative aimed at local writers, directors and producers, launched on January 21st with writer/director David Keating giving a session on ways of finding a path forward with projects and techniques for clarifying what we are really looking for out of a project and indeed a career. The project will run monthly until June.
Paul Duane co-created & co-produced the IFTA-winning RTE drama series ‘Amber’, which has sold to US, Australian, Canadian and Scandinavian broadcasters and to BBC4. Along with writing/producing partner Rob Cawley he is currently developing the TV drama series ‘The Keys’ for Universal Cable/NBC with Blumhouse/2Dux2 as well as a number of feature documentary projects with Robert Gordon.
Duane also produced the 2015 IFTA-award-winning feature documentary ‘In A House That Ceased To Be’. His Grierson & IFTA nominated feature documentary ‘Barbaric Genius’ was acclaimed by publications such as The Guardian while his documentary on rockabilly bankrobber Jerry McGill, Very Extremely Dangerous, was called “a riveting ride to the wrong side of the tracks” by the Sunday Times.
His film, ‘Natan’, about Franco-Romanian film director Bernard Natan, was also nominated for an IFTA in 2014.
