Director Mitchell Tolliday stated: “I was so excited when Simon agreed to play Richard O’Keefe. He gives a full-throttled performance that perfectly marries with the rest of the film. Murder Ballads is a fast paced, colourful, larger-than-life comedy that goes in some darkly farcical directions. The main characters are all misfits who make increasingly terrible decisions but I think are also endearing in their own way. I wanted to make audiences laugh, wince, and gasp in equal measure.”

He provides “Nightmares Film Festival is the perfect home for the world premiere of our anarchic comedy horror, they advocate for #BetterHorror and certainly delivery on that promise. I’m excited to see and hear how the audience responds to the film”.

Talking earlier than the strikes, actor Callow commented: “The script was hilarious. The world of rock ‘n’ roll is something I know nothing about so I accepted it all as literal truth. For all I know rockers may all be serious-minded, god-fearing teetotalers, but I hope not. What drew me to the character of Richard is parts of his brain seem not entirely functional which made him very engaging to play.”
