Ink gets spilled: A dark, eerie new film oozes out of Colorado.
Independent filmmakers have long been forced to deal with tight budgets, casting restrictions, and whatever shooting location could be found down the street. But a new generation has started using those limitations as strengths—and Denver’s Jamin Winans is a perfect example. The writer-director’s new film, Ink, is a surreal, horrifying, yet moving urban fantasy cast and shot entirely in Colorado. Winans manages to morph the mundane and familiar into something utterly otherworldly, evoking the teeming atmosphere and dark imagination of everything from Terry Gilliam’s Brazil to Darren Aronofsky’s Pi. A two-week run of Ink, which is still seeking national distribution, opens at Starz FilmCenter this Friday the 13th; keep an eye out for Decider’s full interview with Winans later this week, and in the meantime, tantalize your sense of weirdness with Ink's latest trailer:
