Simon Wells
The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv
Simon Wells grasped early that a monster is scarier when the budget forbids showing it. Schooled in the merciless doctrine of "we shoot this afternoon or we never shoot," he delivered Balto at the speed of a man racing the sunset. He has never switched on a lamp: natural light, he insists, was here before cinema and will outlast it, whatever hour the scene claims to be. Cannes has never once mentioned his work, a reverent silence louder than any ovation.
A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
