Making a film demands a lot of work and effort.
Making this film demanded a little bit extra, since we all got ill. But we managed somehow to make a fantastic filmshoot and got material that weas something out of the ordinary!
I am glad that I have the skills and abilities to make films. Not too many that has the same opportunity as me. And I do feel glad that I have something to do that I love more than anything else.
And I am also gald for all the kind of support I get from everywhere. That makes it even more fun to work with what I am doing.
August 11th I was with my filmcrew on location at Vikingabyn in Tofta to shoot a pilot sequence for my feature film "Karins Saga", a medieval drama about a mayors daugther who has to choose between her carieer or her heart.
We started our shooting at 6 p.m. and had around 20-30 extras, 6 actors and a small crew of 10 people, running around in the middle of the night and just had fun together.
Then we hoped it would be done by October with all the editing and so. And then we changed us until November. And now, finally, December 5th, we are done!!!!
We can finally present the pilot for everyone.
Incredible how long it would take us to finish this, and now I can only hope that people will enjoy what they are seeing, and will support us in the future.
Now I have this really weird kamikazee project going on....!
A few years ago I want to make a film called The Rain. But we never got fundings to make that film. Boring as hell....!
So now we have decide to make that film anyway, but with very little money. And not as high quality as we first wanted.
No we will make the film just because we want to and to make a film that we can stand for.
Wanna know more or even help out?????
Please just click here below and spread the word! :D
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.

Here is our bloopers-reel from the horror film "Ont Blod" (Evil Blood).
We will upload the main film on youtube during the weekend! :)
Sorry for not writing in a while... I have been working, like never before.
Right now I am in charge of three productions: One that is on the editing table, one that we are shooting right now and one that will be shot in May...
And on top of that I am going to Åland for work during next week, and then I also have my regular work. But I enjoy life so much!
Here is a picture from the production that we are shooting right now. It is a short film called "Ofsi - The svaiour of the forest." and will be a film for children about a troll that one day finds some leeking oil drums just outside there nest and does what he can to save the forest.
On the picture you can see me working as a First Assistant Director and then Nicklas Nordborg as Aldru, Ofsis father.
