HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The Riveting Sci-Fi Short Film 'Ensouled'

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The Riveting Sci-Fi Short Film 'Ensouled'

I’ve recently come across a rather intriguing sci-fi short film called Ensouled last year at FilmQuest as an awards judge and it definitely deserves your attention if you get a chance to come across it as it continues its film festival run! Deep within the enigmatic Eternia facility, Clara carries a heavy burden of concealed grief. But within these mysterious walls, her life is about to…

In April 2021, I sold my life rights to some doofus Earthling and he wrote a screenplay. It ended up being a finalist in the FilmQuest 2022, which I’m told is cool. It didn’t win best screenplay because it was written by a doofus, but I think it’s kinda neat.

I was honored to collaborate with @paulkaiserart. I’m proud of the content of this film; the caliber of this cast, crew, and creative team; and grateful for the opportunity to imagine the character’s movement direction & choreography. I’m excited that “Casual Vignettes of Gilded Vulgarity” is an official selection at @filmquest!

“Casual Vignettes of Gilded Vulgarity is an official selection at Filmquest! After shooting the miniature set pieces to establish the world our film exists in, we then had green screen shoot dates with the actors to later add into the sets. We could not have done this without our choreographer and movement director Matthew Shaffer who has worked for the LA Opera, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, the list goes on. Took a village of people to pull this off. Congrats to this hard-working team. Come out and see this film on 10/28 11am at Filmquest! #teamgoals”

He Took His Skin Off For Me from Ben Aston on Vimeo.

The story of a man who takes his skin off for his girlfriend, and why it probably wasn't the best idea...

BEHIND THE SCENES - vimeo.com/116467047

Please turn off the lights. Use headphones. Go full screen. It's worth it.

'He Took His Skin Off For Me' is a practical SFX fairytale. No CGI whatsoever. Based on the short story by Maria Hummer it is my grad film from the London Film School. It took myself and producer Fiona Lamptey 2 years, 217 Kickstarter backers and a whole lot of fake blood to pull off. SFX legend Colin Arthur (NeverEnding Story, 2001: A Space Odyssey) helped us achieve the impossible, allowing SFX Supervisor Jen Cardno and her team set a new standard for anatomical practical effects. Actor Sebastian Armesto (Anonymous, Pirates of the Caribbean) spent as long as 8hrs in makeup each day to bring this story to life. Alongside Anna Maguire (Saving Private Ryan, Parade's End) they both give us something wonderful, horrible and completely unique. I don’t want to tell people what the film should be. Even finding a genre to describe it is difficult. I want people to come to this film just like I came to the original story, completely unprepared.

If I can leave with one pearl of wisdom, though; if you take off your skin just to be with somebody? That’s only ever going to end messy…
