From Russia with Monsters: Good Cheese, Great Art Department, a bit too much wine

straight 8 veteran director's Will Cummock, George Ancock and Nick Rutter, teamed up to direct From Russia With Monster's in time for the Slamdance deadline of s8 2011.

We met up in Hove and spent the weekend eating a lot of very good cheese, drinking a bit too much wine and making a film.

We more or less made it up as went along, with a lot of help from our amazing cast and crew.


It premiered at Slamdance in january, and we're really chuffed with how it turned out.

The film went on to win the straight 8/shooting people film of the month comp, which was judged by Edgar Wright. He said:

"Amazing in camera effects and editing, clearly a lot of work went into doing this all in sequence, complicated stuff - hats off."

Fingers crossed it'll make the cut for Cannes!
