Indie feature film Fading Away is set to premiere at the Cork Film Festival this Saturday.
Fading away is a psychological horror, telling the story of Leila, the fearsome front-woman of a struggling rock band who has a die hard belief that her music will change the world. After meeting a mysterious mentor, she inadvertently wishes the iconic album 'Golden Boy' from the band Double Eagle - out of existence, leaving the music hers for the taking. As she struggles with her music, band and new love, her supernatural mentor proves to be a darker force than she realised.
