Combining impactful archival footage and a more personal tale, Henry Dean's moving film for Ireland-based international organisation Concern Worldwide draws attention to one of war's hidden killers.
Mixing the two styles, Nothing Kills Like Hunger sees a young boy being cared for after heartbreaking events, with his untimely fate being confirmed by the end of the film.
Effective and affecting, this impressive work from Don't Panic and the Familia director does a neat job of combining the personal with the wider problem.
"After spending my entire career so far working on bizarre music videos and heartfelt but kooky commercials," comments Dean, "working on a charity film with a real humanitarian purpose was an opportunity that I relished. I love blurring the lines between formats and genres, so I was glad when the agency and client got on board with my idea to blend a heartfelt narrative scene with some archival doc-style on the ground footage.
"Charity films always do a fantastic job of making you see the big picture and recognising the widespread nature of issues at hand. I wanted to use this opportunity to illustrate the tragedy of a single life cut short, and charge that larger context with the immediacy and sorrow of an individual story"
