Eadweard

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.

What a film awesome story of a man, who created the moving picture, and who brought us movies and tv shows. Michael Eklund nailed the british accent awesomd actor

True ish story of photographer eadweard muybridge, born in england, 1830, according to wikipedia dot com. In 1850, he came to the united states. This film starts in 1867. Muybridge is already an established photographer, but yearns for improvements and how to capture motion; so he goes about photographing things moving. And doing everyday things. And nudes. Men and women. Pretty unorthodox at the time. By showing the images in succession, he has invented the movie projector, where we see still images move! And this, just a couple years before he shoots and kills someone. Interesting life. I had never heard of this guy before. Directed by kyle rideout. Already an accomplished actor, he began directing in 2010. The film has male and female nudity. And we do see the murder. Currently showing on kanopy channel. Interesting.

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...
