His film "Letters of Service" won the Kodak/BAFTA Showcase in 2005 and
as part of the prize he was taken to Dinard Film Festival, France in
that same year. Duncan was looking to cast actors for his next film and
by pure coincidence he met Paul McGann at the festival, his first
choice for a role in this new project. He got McGann to watch his film
at the festival and McGann agreed to be in his next short. McGann then
suggested Richard E. Grant for the other role and he agreed as well,
leading to the actors first reunion since "Withnail & I" in
1986.
