The Fiver Thing (2001)
made on a shoestring budget the fiver thing is a tightly constructed comedy short.
made on a shoestring budget the fiver thing is a tightly constructed comedy short.
Simon Ellis is an up and coming new director, making waves with a string of shorts and promos that display skilled editing, innovative narrative techniques and is surely one to watch.
With his fun experiment in text, telling lies, appearing on the hit DVD collection, Cinema 16, along side the works of Ridley Scott and others, it wont be long before we are queuing up outside movie theaters to see his first feature.
'The fiver thing', shot on DV and with a local (Nottingham) cast of superb character actors, tells the story of friends falling out over money, the 'fiver thing' of the title.
A subversive take on The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, perhaps, but, in my book... one to watch!
