“I want kids to go home and feel like they could find Marcel behind a pillow—like, it should feel that real,” the filmmaker Dean Fleisher Camp said, about his new feature film with Jenny Slate, “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.”
Twelve years ago, the filmmaker Dean Fleischer Camp and the actress Jenny Slate, who were dating, went to a destination wedding. Their teeny hotel room, shared with five friends, was preposterously cramped, and Slate began to complain about the sardine-like conditions in a small, squeaky voice. She spontaneously named this voice Marcel; Camp had decided it belonged to a seashell so itsy-bitsy that it used a muffin as a mattress.
Slate and Camp ended up spending seven years working on the “Marcel” feature film, which premièred last week. During that span, they got married and then un-married. “When we were getting divorced and still working on this, I think our friends were, like, ‘That seems very weird,’ ” Camp said. The film follows Marcel as he scuttles around a house populated by a rotating crop of Airbnb guests.
Peering inside the chinoiserie sitting room—wee mah-jongg set, shelves of books micro-inscribed with authors’ names—Camp let out a delighted gasp. “My main feelings about working in miniature are that I have ham hocks for fingers,” he said. He lingered on the kitchen scene, which featured a plate of diminutive pears distressed to look as if they had just begun to rot. “It’s so impressive when you see patina,” he said.
Camp turned the corner and his eyes grew wide at the sight of a miniature art gallery inside the doll house, featuring original vest-pocket works by some of Stettheimer’s artist pals—Marcel Duchamp, Gaston Lachaise. “Probably the pleasure of making this was researching all these things with her art friends,” Camp said. He looked wistful.
