I got a DVD today, with a film that I has sponsored through crowdfunding (Kickstarter.com).
It felt a bit special to know I have helped people to make a dream come true, even though I didn't gave that much.
But then I saw the film. It was okay. Not the best film I have ever seen, but fine. I just didn't understand the story. Sorry guys, but the story just didn't get through.
It is a post apocalyptic story and there is a virus in the world. And people want to be a part of the Horizon Project that will lead to a better place. That much I got. But then I just got lost...
And that made me think about my own movies...! People are supporting me in my filmmaking career. And I don't want to make them disapointed. I just want to make a film that people will enjoy and understand and want to support.
Well, I am happy I helped fellow filmmakers out there by supporting them with crowdfunding! I hope they will succeed with the film and that the will continue to make film! And I will continue to support filmmakers as well.

nooMaraton 2013
Last day it was the yearly film contest "nooMaraton" here in Sweden.
It is a really funny contest where you get 24 hours to make film from certain criteria, and people all over Sweden compete at the same time with the same criteria.
This years theme: "requirements marked" (not sure of translation here)
Locations: Under a lightpole, in a hut and in a lineThings: Bracelet, app and music instrument
We were a bit worried while filming since we somehow lost control and only had 6 extras, but those extras did a wonderful job! :)
But we gained control in the editing and we started out with 26 minutes of raw material. (The film cannot be more then 5 minutes) Then we edited it some more and got down to 7 minutes.
My partner then said that no way we can get it any shorter. Ha, he was so wrong!
We managed to make a film, with credits, that were 4 minutes and 57 seconds long.
Now it is up to a jury here on Gotland to pick a winner, from 11 different contributions, and that winner to the big finale in Stockholm! And even if we don't win we had a great time making the film!
What I do like about this competition is that it is not about the best quality of camera or image. It is how to make a story! How to get all the criteria in to the film in the best storytelling way as possible. That is what filmmaking is all about! To tell a story!
Here is our contribution for this years nooMaraton. And we hope you'll like it!
