Crying into your whiskey glass won't get you very far... Or will it?
My attempt to tell the story as Simon Le Bon had envisioned whilst writing it in his garden.
I've been a huge fan of Duran Duran from when I was a little boy, so I couldn't pass this one up. My father took a photograph of my brothers and I stood next to Simon Le Bon's yacht that had moored up at a jetty in my home town - Crosshaven, Co. Cork. I wonder if he remembers?!
For this piece, I wanted to use an iconic English actor from the same period Duran Duran were at their height in the 80s.
Fortunately for me, veteran actor Michael Redfern, who played the dad in the long running Oxo family commercials, lived close by and he was excited to play the protagonist tormented by his troubled past.
His tormentor, a ghost child played by Connor Keeley, is now a seasoned actor himself, having directed him before in a film I made last year.
It's taken many weeks to pull this together and I've nothing but praise for the many people who made it possible.
Take note: It still needs another few days work on perfecting the FX, cuts and colour grading, but you get the idea!
