SKIN & BONE

Is there something dark & supernatural happening here? Or is it plain ol’ human tragedy bringing trouble to our characters? That’s up for you to interpret, but husband and wife team, Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski, really showcase their acting talents in this deliciously dark thriller from Eli Powers. Ending left me with a smile, which not many short films do, so kudos for the different direction this ended at.

2023 BUFF - Dispatch #6

Green’s Party is proud to be covering the 2023 Boston Underground Film Festival, which kicked off Wednesday at the Brattle Theatre (Cambridge, MA) and wrapped Sunday. I’ve been lucky enough to cover the festival since 2016 (the fest took off in 2020 and 2021, and I was unable to attend 2022).

I did not get to attend The Dunwich Horrors shorts program about New England-based stories, but I did get to see one of the shorts Skin & Bone. I jumped out of my seat when I saw this in the program because it was directed by Eli Powers, who I had worked with years ago. He was Amanda Seyfried’s assistant on Ted 2, which I worked on in locations and production office. I bring this up because Seyfried is both a star and producer on Powers’ film. With most films at BUFF there are some notable cast members, but it is very rare that you see an Oscar-nominated actress / Emmy winner in the program, let alone among the shorts. Amanda has always been a great actress, she has especially shown her dramatic skills in films like Lovelace, First Reformed and Mank. Here Seyfried runs an isolated farm in a rural area and a drifter (played by Seyfried’s husband actor Thomas Sodoski) starts to have haunting visions of men trapped inside the bodies of animals on the farm. This is a big swing for Eli and it really shows what you can do in a short amount of time with limited locations. It’s also the perfect fit for The Dunwich Horrors, because it felt like an isolated farm in Western Mass. or Vermont. Both actors are mesmerizing. Way to go Eli!

Skin & Bone won the award for Best New England Film (David Kleiler Memorial Award) at the award ceremony!

Coming up: while the 2023 BUFF is now over, I have some more coverage coming up including interviews and further reviews.
