Rouzbeh Rashidi's surreal Frankenstein-esque creation is launched today on EFS VOD.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with a string of EFS filmmakers during the summer of 2018. It was a very special production. I was lucky to experience as much as I did largely due to the fact a large part of production took place in my studio in Phibsboro, Dublin. Photo by Hélène GouMont.
Personal memories include a dark smoke filled underground chasm, a Victorian horse drawn insane asylum, crime on four wheels moving in a forward motion, cosmic blood soaked wedding hymns, sirens of the undergrowth and lastly - a moustache.

"...a beautiful, genre-defying (and genre-redefining) chimera – a light-breathing monster with a documentary-turned-neo-noir head and anachronistic period drama body sporting expressionist wings, bizarre avant-horror scales and a stingy tail of an erotic, occult fantasy."
"This cosmic carnival of visionary delirium and erotic obsession conjures a gorgeously artificial, opulently hermetic zone comparable to Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954)."
- Maximilian Le Cain
"Because when you are making film, things happen that are completely out of your control. And the job of the director,” he insists, “is to enter into this chaos. You can control this in editing."
