Robert Morgan on Stopmotion | BFI Q&A
Director Robert Morgan visits the BFI Southbank to talk about his film Stopmotion, a grisly story of murder and madness on the set of a new stop-motion animated film.
Ella is working with her mother, Suzanne, a legendary stop-motion filmmaker, on her final movie. When the bullying Suzanne is admitted to hospital, Ella decides to move the film in a different direction. However, the pressure of making a film pushes her to the point of hysteria; fantasy and reality blur, accompanied by a series of grisly acts.
Working on many levels – both as an effective horror and a deconstruction of the genre – Morgan’s film features a number of genuine frights, no small amount of gory scares and a rafter of eerie puppets, including the sinister ‘Ash Man’.
