Film time again!

Oh yes!

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

This weekend...

Well, as promised Iwill now give you an update of what has happened this weekend.

It all started this friday with a movie shoot. I was an actor for Filmgymnasiet på Gotland in one of their commercials, for the school!

We shot the commercial at Saint Marys Church in Visby, and the set up was a wedding that ended with them showing it was just a film set. Smart idea, I have to say.
And I played the groom. :)

Then, on the saturday, it was time for the big event: WisbyMaskeraden! The biggest event of the year, next to Medeltidsveckan of course, when you get the chance to dress up and just live out your dream as a costume nerd. :)
This years theme was Harry Potter vs. Merlin. And I was there with Gotlands MusikalKompani and we made a 30 minute long show as Hogwarts students. And I also played Severus Snape in the begining of the show. Then I changed to a school student , belonging to Rawenclaw.

And to play Severus Snape, wich I think is the coolest character played by one of the best actors, Alan Rickman, was a privilege. To find the small secrets that unlocks Snape and make him alive, since he is both evil and good.

Me as Severus Snape

 

And I had a costume, special made for me, ordered on eBay, just for this occasion. And it was worth it! It was so worth it! And the show went so well and we had a lot of fun!

Final touch-ups on the make-up before showtime!

 

Now it is time to rest for a few days, then on thursday we start our rehearsals for "Sweeny Todd", the big musical we will put up in April! :)

Almost all costumes lined up for the weekends performances.

What a weekend!

Tomorrow it is! Tomorrow it is time to be on stage again, and this time at Wisby Maskeraden. (www.wisbymaskeraden.se)

Last night we had a 5 hours rehearsal and tonight we will have a 1 1/2 hour of rehearsal on site, and then tomorrow at 18 we start! And by "we" I mean Gotlands MusikalKompani!
Preparations are being made, bot costume, set dressing and performance.

I am really excited about this! I will play Severus Snape and zap off a kid from a suitcase, and confront some kids in the hallways. God, I will love tomorrow! :)

And my costume is perfect. Can't show it to you really yet, because there is a big surprise for some people tomorrow, but it will be awsome!

Today though I am getting married! Not for real! It is for a commercial for a film school. Going to be rather fun I guess. The costume is already picked and I just need to shave an polish my shoes, then I am ready for action!

The acting has really got going again after so many years in the hidden. I haven't done that much more than my own short films, but now I am enjoying life again!

Well, off to the shower and the shaving. Promise I will upload some pics from both today and tomorrow!

Have a great weekend you all!

I guess...

Well, sometimes you just need a moment of your own. Even though you love have stuff going on around you and you "need" like a thousand thing to do.
Sometimes it is just better to stop for a while and just step outside the box, look inside and see what you have and what you can waste.

I just feel lonely and sad and depressed, and I can't find my way to get over stuff.
I am afraid, lost, sad, happy, driven, scared... I am a lot, but not complete. Can that be it? That I am not complete? And then, what makes me complete?

Is it to be loved by those I love more than life it self? Is it to win the lottery and be rich forever? Is it to find a house on the country side and settle down?

I don't know! All I know is that I have so much stuff inside that I even can't get out of me.... People would hate me. They would look down on me. Think I am a jerk or worse...

All I ever have been aiming for is to be my self, no matter what, and to be a role model. All I have ever wanted is to make sure people are happy... Have I forgotten my self?

Have I forgotten my self in this world where everything has to be so perfect? Well, f*ck perfect! I am who I am, and I will never change!

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.

Viking village.

Well, at the Viking Village at Tofta, Gotland, we always have fun. That's for sure.
If you haven't been there before, I think you should pay a visit. Specially if you're having kids or has an interest in history.
We try to keep the village as correct as possible, even though we can't know exactly for sure how they lived back then. After all, it was over 1000 years ago it all happened.

For kids we have a lot of activites they can try. Bake their own bread, try the longbow, visit the woodcarvers house and try some of his work. See the blacksmith in action, and many other things.

We also have a monk working with herbs and makes tea for every one, with herbs grown at the village.

Three religions are represented in our village: The Vana Faith that was before the Asa faith and then Christianity that was the end ofthe Viking age.

Here are some pictures of what you can to while visiting the village. Warmly welcome!

Getting closer!

We are getting closer to our goal on the short film. And that is just so super exciting!

We have now got more fundings and got more people talking about us and that just helps.
And the spring is entering our lifes and that makes me happy as well! And it feels that my memory is getting better. I do remeber stuff better now.
Maybe a combination of the pills I am taking and that the sun i shining almost every day.

I feel happpier now than I did 4 weeks ago.
