  • Hell Is a Game Show: an Artistic Interpretation Of
    HELL IS A GAME SHOW: AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF THE AFTERLIFE ______________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _____________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film _____________________________ by Zachary Stoner May 2018 Stoner 1 “Hell is other people,” shouts Joseph Garcin in Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1944 play Huis Clos (No Exit). It was this sentiment that summarizes the entire play: man can never escape the judgment of others and in turn is always in the hell of his own self-judgment. It is this quote, in its various forms and parodies, that would come back to haunt me in ironic ways. But it was also this play that took me down the path that would eventually lead me to the creation of my film: Hell is a Game Show. This project starts before Sartre, with my junior year film Near Sighted: The Usually Alone Interview - specifically with a supporting actress by the name of Evie Weir. Her acting was smart and funny, a natural with the kind of dark comedy that I had become so fond of writing. There’s an old Hollywood expression that goes “directing is ninety percent casting,” and I planned to take that a step further and write my thesis film around a talented actress that had a great knowledge of the craft. I had just finished watching two dark comedies: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and Seven Psychopaths (2012). Both feature comedy that relies heavily on horrible murder or torture.

  • River Queen a Film Review by Rev Dr Steve Taylor (Originally Written for New Zealand, Methodist Touchstone, April 2006
    River Queen A film review by Rev Dr Steve Taylor (Originally written for New Zealand, Methodist Touchstone, April 2006. Reprinted with their permission.) River Queen is the latest offering from New Zealand director, Vincent Ward. Sarah (Samantha Morton) is a young Irish settler woman, raising a child, fathered by a young Maori man, on the banks of the Whanganui River. The child, Boy (Rawiri Pene), is kidnapped by his Maori tribe. The film follows Sarah’s search for her child, a search set against the backdrop of the viscous fighting between Maori and Pakeha that is part of the history of the Whanganui River. Director Vincent Ward is known for his unique cinematic vision of New Zealand. In 1984, Ward filmed Vigil. Set in Taranaki, Pakeha in New Zealand perch uneasily upon an isolated, mist covered and alien land. Vigil was a landmark in the history of New Zealand film. It was the 1st New Zealand produced film to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival and drew the following acerbic comment from The Times. “New Zealand is a great place to grow mad, twisted and bitter.” (The Times, 1994) Ironically, the production of River Queen became in itself a series of bitter twists and turns. Vincent Ward was fired and then re-hired. Samantha Morton fell ill and required hospitalization. Cliff Curtis crashed his car while driving to the movie set on a twisting, turning, country road. In the twenty-two years between Vigil and River Queen, Vincent Ward has flown to Hollywood and covered diverse terrain that included directing Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come and Tom Hanks in The Last Samurai.

  • Study Guide for Vigil (1984) Facts 1984, New Zealand, 90 Mins Director Vincent Ward Producer John Maynard Director of Cinematogr
    Study Guide for Vigil (1984) Facts 1984, New Zealand, 90 mins Director Vincent Ward Producer John Maynard Director of Cinematography Alun Bollinger Themes Adolescence, reality vs. fantasy, family relationships. Summary On an isolated, hilly, New Zealand sheep farm live 12 year old Toss, her parents (the taciturn Justin and the emotionally and physically worn Elizabeth) and her grandfather "Birdie" (the eccentric originator of various crackpot schemes to save the crumbling farm). The stark scenery and the unrelentingly bad weather which envelope the characters seem to be portents for the film's oncoming turmoil, which we see entirely through Toss's eyes. The child witnesses her father fall to his death in an attempt to rescue a stranded sheep. Justin's body is carried home by Ethan, an itinerant hunter and farm hand whom Birdie subsequently employs, to the obvious anger of Elizabeth. Toss is alternately fascinated and terrified by Ethan, emotions which are heightened when the tensions between him and her mother erupt into a passionately physical relationship. All of this coincides with Toss' emergence into puberty, and the film movingly and poetically shows us the strange, moving rituals of a childhood tragically disrupted and the nameless, unspoken terrors of Toss' dawning sexuality. Intense, strange and darkly atmospheric, the film is filled with striking (almost primeval) imagery and ominous sound. With its mingling of Toss' reality, fantasies and dreams, and a dark magic that only childhood knows, it is a deeply haunting and hypnotic experience. Cultural Context The Place of Vincent Ward and Vigil in New Zealand Film History At the time he made Vigil, Vincent Ward was only 27 years old, but was already an accomplished and highly individual film maker.
