The Man Who Met Himself.mov

Who is Stephen Maker? Did he fake his own death, or do doppelgängers really exist?

Palme D'Or nominated short film; Winner of Best Short Thriller - International Festival of Cinema Technology. Written and Directed by Ben Crowe. See www.bencrowe.co.uk

At first it seems like a puzzle with pieces missing, and the result is a bold, surreal mindfuck of a movie. Im not sure whether I love it or hate it, but I admire its audacity.

Two short films by young British directors also stand out: Hibernation, by John Williams, which mixes live action and animation to powerful effect; and The Man Who Met Himself, by Ben Crowe, a stylish and cerebral Super 8 mystery. Both promise much for the future.

I have just started playing with Super8 and this film really gives me a boost, seeing what can be done with the format. Inspiring stuff.
