STUPHANE (LIMITED EDITION)

Skilfully blending elements of Mark Duplass'''' Creep with 1992''''s Man Bites Dog, alongside mis-matched buddy movies such as The Cable Guy, Stephane is a darkly comic thriller set in the world of amateur film-making that is as bleakly funny as it is disturbingly twisted. When Tim (Bastien Garcia), a committed and aspiring filmmaker, encounters the eccentric Stephane (Lucas Pastor), it seems like a match made in heaven. Stephane claims to be an experienced SFX supervisor and stuntman who quickly impresses Tim with his home-made pyrotechnics. The two men decide to embark on a journey to Stephane''''s private island to film an ambitious World War II epic, along with Stephane''''s acquaintance, a selective mute refugee actress named Bianca (Eva Gregorieff). But as Tim and Stephane''''s movie-making odyssey develops, it soon becomes apparent that neither of them may be what they claim, and tensions quickly escalate. Part found-footage, part sinister thriller and part self-reflexive black comedy, Stephane is punk filmmaking at its finest, right up until the final, chilling post-credits scene.
