Project Detail

Morrison's Birthday Party

Synopsis

The latest film by Frame on Frame was made in the style of Mike Leigh and Alexander Sokurov.

It is an exceptional piece of experimental film-making and was shot from beginning to end in less than 100 minutes, using 6 cameras strategically placed in a large private garden in Hammersmith.

Twenty-four actors took part and although they worked to a plot, all the dialogue was improvised during the shoot with no rehearsals beforehand. Only Morrison was made aware of the final scene before the shoot.
