Beside the Manor Selby - the trailer is here!
Beside the
Manor Selby
is a period drama taking place in the Edwardian era. 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 and their ties with the
"developing theatre of horrors," i.e. the war in Europe. The full page
of info can be seen here. 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)
portrays the character of Mr. Wedgewicke and actor/director Joseph M.
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.

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. -
