About this episode

In this episode, we sit down with award-winning Irish filmmaker Ivan Kavanagh — the mind behind haunting films like The Canal and Son. Ivan opens up about his early life growing up in Ireland, his deep-rooted love for cinema, and the passion that pushed him to pursue filmmaking in a traditional Irish setting. We talk about what drew him to horror, the movies that shaped his imagination, and the real fears that fuel his stories. Ivan takes us behind the scenes of The Canal and the eerie aftermath of its release, as well as his process and inspiration behind the critically acclaimed Son (2021). He also shares what continues to attract him to horror-adjacent projects, some of his dream films yet to be made, and what might be coming next. A must-listen for horror fans and filmmakers alike.
