in describing his film screening in the Camerimage Film Festival’s main competition, “Eight for Silver.”
Ellis, who is next directing and shooting a “quite exciting” English-language re-conception of 2016 Spanish revenge story “The Fury of a Patient Man” with his current team, LD Entertainment and Piste Rouge – his first feature he hasn’t written – says “Eight for Silver” was inspired by a love for horror classics.
“It’s really weird how this echoes what’s going on today,” he says, citing the film’s themes of powerful elites trampling the rights of refugees as the security of the poor is ignored by the uber wealthy. As for his choice of menace, Ellis says he wanted to explore new ways to think about the concept of a predator stalking a community.
“I would say ‘Anthropoid’ was my handheld film,” Ellis says. “Going into this I originally wanted a completely static film.” Later, as monsters begin appearing, seemingly to avenge the massacre, Ellis says he found old-school special effects and animatronics more powerful than CGI.
