"A Simple Killing" to premiere at Raindance Film Festival 2024

Emer’s latest scoring project, “A Simple Killing”, will premiere at Raindance Film Festival in London on June 28th 2024.

The short is an ambitious horror film directed by Jason Branagan, written by Mark Conway, and produced by Emer Durcan of Western Front Studios and Mark de Carreau of Five Line Films. It was shot on location at Bellefield House and Gardens in Shinrone, county Offaly, and was awarded €10,000 by the Film Offaly Short Film Bursary 2023. Brian Durcan handled cinematography, and Irish stunt coordination company Total Stunts oversaw the stunt work and armory.

Emer’s score is a hybrid horror score which uses a mixture of traditional scoring elements alongside aleatoric orchestral elements and cinematic sound design.
