Eadweard

If you have any interest in the very origins of "moving pictures," find a way to see EADWEARD. The film wins Best Picture at the Cape Cod International Film Festival (24 Official Selections from 316 submissions). Historically accurate, beautifully shot, with wonderful performances.

The audience at the Chatham Orpheum sat in silence during - and after - the final credits. A sense of reverence for Muybridge's work. And appreciation for the efforts of the filmmakers.

Kyle Rideout and Josh Epstein have been tireless in their efforts to support the film. You all have fans on Cape Cod (East Coast, USA)!

I have seen many short clips of this movie and love them all. I have yet to see the movie in it's entirety, but feel a little biased as those were my own little piglets used for this movie... One of these days I will see the whole thing in one go...

Watched it three times over the years. It's pleasant in a different way each time. Loved the close-up scenes, as well as how well I could hear every little movement. Don't care how historically correct this is.

Just saw this at our local theatre in Stratford, ON with both Kyle Rideout and Josh Epstein on hand to deliver the print all the way from Vancouver! Wonderful little film that has all of the right elements working for it, script, acting, directing, music and especially cinematography! AND they made it for $150,000. 100X better then most things in theatres today. A real (reel?) gem for anyone who loves film and film history. As I write this there are bigger names trying to get other Muybridge projects off the ground (Cumberbatch, Oldman etc.) but I guarantee they won't have the passion that this has. Sure it has a fairly unknown cast but so did Citizen Kane and Star Wars.

I know this movie has been out for a few years, but if you still haven't seen it yet, DO IT. Michael Eklund portrays Eadweard in an amazing way, even though we didn't know much about Eadweard himself, mostly his work. So here he got a chance to improvise a bit on how to portray Mr. Muybridge.

The movie is also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The close-ups, the lighting. You appreciate every little detail in it. Every time I've watched this movie, I have catched myself pausing the video and just looking at the screen. It's a beautifully made film.

Sara Canning, who played his wife, was also an amazing choice. These two have a beautiful and great chemistry between eachother, and it shows on camera.
