White Wall Cinema Presents: MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON 

A completely unique and organic take on the animation / mockumentary genres, director Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate have upscaled their small series of You Tube shorts into a feature film about the inimitable Marcel the Shell.

The story begins when documentary filmmaker Dean (Dean Fleischer Camp) moves into an Airbnb following the end of his marriage. There he discovers he has unwittingly taken up residence alongside Marcel (a brilliant Jenny Slate), Nana Connie (the always brilliant Isabella Rossellini) and their pet ball of lint, Alan. When Dean decides to document Marcel’s rather tiny life online, it opens up a world of not only internet fame but also sparks the possibility that Marcel could once again be re-united with his wider family who, whilst hidden in the sock drawer were inadvertently taken away by a previous resident.

Funny, touching, and quite obviously adorable, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is a real gem of beautifully simple inspiration from Camp and Slate, and manages to encompass a true range of human emotion all packed neatly into one small shell. Plus, stay on after the film for a short look behind the scenes of how this miniature marvel was brought to the big screen.
