5 Reasons to Watch Elliot Frances Flynn

5 Reasons to Watch Elliot Frances Flynn

I read you are an aspiring filmmaker. What types of films are you interested in making?

‘I am interested in making movies about people behaving badly, mostly women in regard to genre, I'd love to make both comedies and dramas and definitely films that toe the line between both. Sex, womanhood, and relationships are themes definitely to be explored. Some movies I've been into lately are Sharp Stick by Lena Dunham; Causeway. ’


Not Okay. I generally love Quinn Shephard; she's an inspiration to me. I love movies like Terminator, Fear Street, and Blade Runner, but I know as a filmmaker, I'm really drawn to more pedestrian stories. Though if someone wants me to act in a horror or sci-fi, I am absolutely ready.


Can you write as well? If so, what have you written so far?

I do write. I go into production on a short film I wrote, "Baby Fat" this Spring. I wrote it and I'll be directing. I am nervous about it, but I believe in the story I'm telling and am so in love with my cast and crew. I have some other shorts, and features, that I would love to turn my attention back to when I get the chance.


What's the beauty of creating short films?

I think short films can be really impactful. I don't think every idea needs to be a 120-minute film. I've loved so many of the short films I've worked on as an actress; I fit in two, or three shorts between feature shoots all the time. I've worked on a lot of really wonderful characters; characters I could put my spin on, and be part of the creative process. That level of involvement hasn't happened yet for me on feature. Shorts also are almost always passion projects. No one makes money from shorts, so you have to be uber-passionate about the story you're telling.


Who's your ideal collaborator on one of your future films?

I'd love to work with Amy Seimetz, Emma Seligman, and Rachel Sennott. Victoria Pedretti seems to be such a thoughtful, giving actor. I'd love to work with her too, as a scene partner or a director.
