A documentary about the band around singer/guitarist Glen Hansard. In Dublin a deep dive is taken into the musical phenomenon The Frames, which goes from folk to guitar rock. The film gives an impression of a great concert that The Frames gave in the beautiful Olympia Theatre. In addition frontman Glen Hansard's home is visited, he shows the home where he grew up as a child, and visits his friend the Irish singer-songwriter Luka Bloom.

In The Deep Shade is a feature length film about The Frames. Filmmaker Conor Masterson worked closely with the band over 18 months, beginning on their 20th anniversary tour in 2010. 'The Frames have always been very positive collaborators. I felt this was an opportunity to make a film that could explore their creativity as people and musicians as well as capturing some of their very dynamic and exciting live performances in close up.'

Recorded at the Riverside Theater, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
