RAVENOUS (1999) dir. Antonia Bird

This BEAST of a poster is finally finished and I can finally rest

I'll reblog this later to talk about the process and some thoughts because I am not about to let an opportunity to talk about poster design pass me by (edit: reblog ramble made)

Meanwhile though:-] You can have some close ups and such under the cut:

PRIEST (1994) dir: Antonia Bird

You know, it's not courage to resist me, Boyd. It's courage to accept me.

RAVENOUS (1999) | dir. Antonia Bird

"Weendigo. It's an old Indian myth from the north. A man eats another's flesh. It's usually an enemy. And he, um, takes... No, steals... His strength, essence, his spirit. And his hunger becomes craven... Insatiable. And the more he eats, the more he wants to. The more he eats, the stronger he becomes."

Ravenous (1999) dir. Antonia Bird

Everyone should watch the documentary about Antonia Bird... she is the Van Gogh of film making to me.... and I feel crazy carrying around this love for her when so few people are familiar with her or her work. She made Ravenous. She made Safe. She made Priest. She made Care. She made Face. She hated Hollywood and called them "the greatest cannibals of all." Her ideas were continuously squashed and mutilated by the BBC and other producers, but she kept on keeping on. Her combination of realism, humor, and political commentary was commonly misunderstood in her time, but I think the world is ready for it now. It's extremely difficult to find most of her films. Many never made it to DVD. Some never even made it to VHS. She had to fight uphill to make everything. She was friends and collaborators with Irvine Welsh, Robert Carlyle, Damon Albarn, and Danny Boyle. When things went badly for her, she was known to curl into the fetal position on set and suck her thumb. The world was unkind to her. I think she was a genius. I hate that she's dead now.
