Cell

S16mm Short Film that follows the short life of X-203.

A mysterious man who awakes to find himself locked up in an alien prison only to discover through a leap of faith he is actually part of the human body and has a more pivotal role than he could of imagine.

Unfortunately, the final reel with 10 minutes of the ending footage was mishandled at my chosen lab, I-Lab in London, while developing and got chemically burned. With sets already dismantled and no more money on the budget for a reshoot, the ending of this film turned out to be somewhat abstract. Nonetheless I would love to read your comments on the take of this film, which begs the question:

Sorry to reply this late, your question actually went undetected. I worked on this film about 3 years ago and don't recall very well some of the details. I used Eternal on other projects and was really happy about it, I do have to say that my DOP had a role in chosing the film stock. As for the camera, Arri SR II

Question...how did you like using the Fuji Eternal filmstock. Why did you choose it the vision 2/3 stock. Also what camera did you use?
