I saw "Ecce Pirate" at the Sundance Film festival. In addition to writing and directing the picture, Modine also photographed it. It was all very strong. Ecce Pirate is quiet, and subtle. Kind of a meditation on life. The story is about a young boy who is kidnapped and taken aboard a pirate ship. It is there that the boy grows up and learns to accept the difficulties of life and gains a new acceptance for things he cannot change. Big ideas for a short film. It's a wonderful dream.
