Hasta La Motion!

‘Monster Hunter’, a new short film from RSA Films director Alexander Farrell, explores the power of imagination and the importance of dreaming big. Born in collaboration with Seagate Technology’s premium brand LaCie – the film was created to celebrate LaCie’s 30th anniversary. Shot over ten days, from the deep dark waters of Loch Ness, to the depths of the blustery Scottish Highlands, Alexander set out to capture the mystery that surrounds the waters of Loch Ness and the creature below, but what he found was less haunting. The nine-minute film, which was presented at the International Broadcast Conference in Amsterdam, follows the “Monster Hunter” Steve Feltham. Since 1991, Steve has been hunting full-time for proof of the Loch Ness Monster, sacrificing his relationships, home, and career in search of something bigger. A celebration of imagination and freedom, “There’s great power in the imagination” said Steve, “some grow out of it, others don’t”.

Filming Monster Hunter

Speaking about the filming process Alexander said “we set out to capture the mystery that surrounds the waters of Loch Ness and the creature that lives below, and we discovered a man that loved the beast with all of his heart. To him, it wasn’t necessarily the Loch Ness monster being real that was so important but the idea that it was possible, that’s the magic. He encouraged us to do the same… dream big.”
