Trailer: ‘House Of The Dragon’s Ewan Mitchell Stars In ‘Still Life’

EXCLUSIVE: Ewan Mitchell is best known to audiences as the dastardly Prince Aemond Targaryen in House of the Dragon, but his latest project promises to be a more offbeat affair.

The British actor stars in Still Life, a short comedy film in which he depicts a lonely retail worker who lives with a dozen mannequins. When a living, breathing, and somewhat peculiar girl (Saura Lightfoot-Leon) arrives on his doorstep, his carefully curated world is turned on its head.

Oliver Hill, who has worked in the House of the Dragon writers’ room and has credits on titles including Wuthering Heights and Mickey 17, wrote and directed Still Life.

Oscar-winning composer Steven Price (Gravity) has written an original soundtrack, while House of the Dragon star Fabien Frankel serves as an executive producer. Producers are Csilla Tornallyay and Max Mark Frankel in association with production company Marcel Monique Pictures.

Sophie Stacey from Candlelight Films and Saskia Greenhalgh also serve as producers, with Alex Bedford and Ben Parkin of A Running Commentary joining as executive producers. Natasha Duursma is the cinematographer.

Hill said: “This is a film about connection. More specifically, its desperate necessity and the lengths we’ll go to find it. When loneliness sinks its teeth in, some might meet a friend, go for a walk, or call their Mum. But in our protagonist’s case, he steals a load of mannequins from the department store where he works and talks to them.”
