I Spy with My Little Eye… A Coen Brothers Movie Coming to the Criterion Collection

Wacky_New_Year_2015_largeEarlier this week the folks over at the Criterion Collection graced us with this brain teaser doodle of what we can expect from them to release in 2015. Aside from the depiction of a man carrying a cat and a guitar, which I’m certain has to be for the Coen brothers‘ “Inside Llewyn Davis”, for the most part I’m left with several interpretations as to what it is the others could be. I am however keeping my fingers crossed that the man on the bridge running away from the rowdy horde is Buster Keaton‘s “Seven Chances” and that the man reading what appears to be a map is Harold Ramis‘ “Vacation”. Guess only time will tell – speaking of which, what does that clock under the bridge represent?

How many movies can you find in the above picture?

Help Filmbalaya’s Tom Ellis make his short film, Adrift!

tumblr_ng6dch9kZE1rjjbx4o1_1280Hi all!

I’m putting the theory and criticism into practice and making a short film of my own.  Any help will go far, from pennies to that extra thousand you have gathering dust under your loveseat next to your no-longer-working fireplace (you know who you are).

Check out the following link to our Indiegogo video in which I, producer Kwame, and actor Brett prostrate ourselves, begging for dinars: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/adrift-a-short-film-by-tom-ellis#home

Thank you in advance!
