It is over.... Our shooting period is over, and did we have fun or not!
There is something special about being on set and just see the progress of filming. Kind of sad when it is all over. Kind of hard to realize that all that chaos actually can be a film!
But so many has been so dedicated to this project and has done a wonderful job! We are so amazed of the love and joy we get from people.

We are aiming for the stars, Cannes International Film Festival 2013, and maybe we will reach all the way, maybe not. Only time will tell. But we are sure that our film are good enough for Cannes!

I am just thrilled that this might be my comeback as a cinematographer and director. And if so, I feel confident that I will have much more to do in the future. :)

So much fun!

We had a rehearsal today with our actors Anders Eng and Britta Calamnius, for the short film "Det som göms i snö".
And it was such a joy to hear Anders dialogue for the first time and work with both Anders and Britta to make the dialouge and characters alive! I laughed and giggled like a little child and just felt such a joy inside of me to see the development of the story and are so convinced that this film will be my comeback as a director and filmmaker!

I have the privilege to work with pure talents that has a heart and soul for what they are doing! Who listen to what you want and interpet it right and transform it all so my vision can come true.

I am so happy right now! :) If this film wont be sold on the film market, then something is seriously wrong.... ;)

We won!

I am just so incredible happy right now!

Last night we won a regional film contest with our film "Strandfynd". And we are so freaking happy about that!

Strandfynd was a film made during 19 hours in a contest where you get 7 criteria that you had to have in the film.

We were very nervous, specially I, during the evening and we knew we wouldn't be safe until the had revealed the winners, since there was a jury that decided, and not the audience.
And we got on first place!!!!!! :)

The motivation from the jury was: "With an evocative and stylish storytelling engages the film and presents the viewer with a dark interpretation of this year's theme. The different conditions for the competition passes unnoticed because they are so well integrated into the story. The message is ambiguous and lets the spectator to self reflect on concepts that abuse over generations and human destinies."

Now we will go to Stockholm to participate in the big final, that takes place the 29th of September! We just hope that we will win there, and promise to represent Gotland!

But just the fact that the first time ever we are participating in a film contest we are winning, that was so important for me. Now I know I am good at what I am doing and will continue to work with film. I needed this confirmation so badly.

And here is our winning film. Please share it to every one you know!

Wow....!

Wow... That is like almost all I can say right now.... Wow!

Was participating in a film contest called Noo Maraton, this weekend. It is a contest in Sweden where you get 24 hours to make a film out from some certain criteria, and with no budget at all.

The theme for this year was: Temptations
And the criteria were three places ( A ditch, in centrum and on a bed) and three objects (Message in a bottle, an old cloth and a spatula).
Saturday morning at 9 a.m. we got those criteria on the phone and then it was just of to work. 24 hours of complete chaos.
The most important thing in this contest is to make a story that works. It is more of a storytelling contest than a film contest, even though the jury will look at the technical work as well.

We worked with the story for about 7 hours and then we started to shoot the film. And worked with the shooting for about 7 hours and then we edited the film during 6 hours.
At 4.45 a.m. Sunday morning we were done and the film were uploaded at youtube. And Friday the 14th of September there is this regional contest and if we win we will go to Stockholm and participate in the national competition.

Our story became breath taking and strong in many ways. We realized that we had a very dark mind and that we needed to do something like this, just to proof for ourselves that we don't need to go safe in our story.

And when we got the music from Jorge Mendez, a young talented composer from Mexico, everything just came to place and we almost had tears in our eyes while looking at what we had done.

A big thanks to our actors and a slightly bigger thank to our child actors, Ludvig Rödland and Samuel Kåring, who did such an excellent work with such short notice.

I guess there is just one more thing to do and that is to show you the film now! Please share it with every one, and it even has english subtitles.

Love to you all and keep your fingers crossed the 14th.
