This week writer/director Ciarán Foy's highly impressive feature film debut Citadel (review here) is set to hit limited theaters nationwide courtesy of Cinedigm Entertainment, and to get you guys ready, we recently caught up with the filmmaker to hear more about the project.

A film that debuted rather impressively at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival this past March (taking home the Midnighter Audience Award), Citadel has garnered a multitude of accolades this year during its impressive festival run, and now that the flick is finally hitting the big screen in theaters, we heard from Foy about how his own real-life trauma influenced the film's hero, Tommy (Aneurin Barnard), as well as more on his approach to creating palpable atmosphere and what's coming up next for him.

Check out our exclusive interview with up-and-coming director Foy below, and make sure to check out Citadel in theaters November 9th.
