Occasionally reminiscent of the better moments from Flashbacks Of A Fool (which Ellis co-produced), the former fashion snapper crafts a visually-creative and introspective journey into weary self-analysis.Īfter breaking up with his longtime girlfriend Suzy (Michelle Ryan), art student Ben (Sean Biggerstaff) is so distraught that he finds himself unable to sleep. It's a low-budget Brit art-flick with indie roots, for sure, but Ellis' ambitions are to be applauded.


In all seriousness though, Cashback is the expanded version of photographer-come-director Sean Ellis' award-winning 18-minute short (basically, every scene from the original is here with additional material). As Alan himself would have said, cashback. For those unsure, no it's not a Partridge movie (you can almost imagine the follow up Back Of The Net) and, yes, it is the one where glamour model Keeley Hazell does her shopping without a top.
