DN EP 042: Auto Pilot, Distortion, Ping Pong & Biker Mike - Mike Chan
Today’s interview’s slightly different in that instead of zeroing in on a single film, we’re looking at four very different pieces from director Mike Chan’s body of work, to get a feel for the variety of projects he creates with his regular team of collaborators; including experiments with photocopiers in Distortion, duelling Ping Pong [...]
Auto Pilot, Distortion, Ping Pong & Biker Mike - Mike Chan

The Ten Steps - Brendan Muldowney
Making counting to ten one of the creepiest things ever shown on screen, Brendan Muldowney’s The 10 Steps will have you going to bed with the lights on for the foreseeable future. Shot in Dublin over three days, The Ten Steps uses the horror movie staples of a haunted house, lone baby sitter and unreliable [...]

Despite the modest £1000 budget, director John Burns was confident the 90-second film could be realised on Super 16mm, until disaster struck: “The producer pulled out three days before the shoot and we realised she hadn’t organised anything in the month of [...]
DN EP 040: Doll Face - Andy Huang
Pretty much every guest we’ve had on the show has had to master a chameleon-like approach to filmmaking, swapping and morphing roles as a project dictates, but Andy Huang threw himself into the challenge of creating the identity construction piece Doll Face by taking on all possible roles, learning what he needed along the way.

Doll Face - Andy Huang
Doll Face (2005)
Doll Face follows a machine’s struggle to construct its own identity. The machine with a doll face mimics images presented on a television screen and ultimately self-destructs from its inability to adopt a satisfactory visage. Created in its entirety by Andy Huang, Doll Face presents a visual account of desires misplaced and [...]
