Beside the Manor Selby
Beside the Manor
Selby
is a period drama taking place in Edwardian England. Ellsworth is directing and scoring this lavish
production. Location shooting began on June 5th,
2007 and principle photography on June 26th. The story revolves around
the inhabitants of the Manor Selby in Cornwall and their ties with
the "developing theatre of horrors," i.e. the war in
Europe. Scenes with cult actor Conrad Brooks were shot on July
7th, 2007. Seen with director Ellsworth Hall on location (left), Conrad
plays the Manor Selby's gardener who dispenses seemingly inane
pronouncements which are much more meaningful than they at first appear to
be.
The
production will feature music from Ellsworth's classical album
Conversations with George Edgar Selby.
The
CD will feature the three-movement piece The Blind Potentate
. Ellsworth performs on a
Steinway grand piano along with the vibrant sound of the Czech
Philharmonic Orchestra. A sample of the music can be heard here:
Excerpt from "The Archduke Earsworth"
Veteran Baltimore actor George Stover (Polyester, Hairspray)

Dwyer plays the mysterious Captain Vashnic, a survivor whose
automobile was hit by a bomb during the first
assassination attempt of the Austrian Archduke on the streets of
Sarajevo in 1914.
Ellsworth also painted the portrait of George Edgar
Selby which will appear on the album cover.

BSAS/BMHS Co-occurring Disorders Training Series Videos
The first set of trainings (shot January through October 2005) are in release on DVD. Ellsworth not only scored the Co-occurring Disorder Training Series videos sponsored by Baltimore Mental Health Systems and Baltimore Substance Abuse Systems, but was videographer and editor as well. A different series began shooting on October 26, 2006 and continued into October 2007. Some trainings are available online at the BMHS website.
Whale, Man and God
Concerning the physiology of this production,
one must note Whale, Man and God serves as the impetus of an
excursion into the realm of Lamaleran history and folklore; but more
importantly as an allegory of the world of mythic jurisprudence with
the struggle of the hunters in an environment where the disadvantages
were many. The production brilliantly conveys this
allegory. - Boulevard Denim Click here to view the video excerpts in 256 Kbps wmv
