Hey everyone – it’s been a bit over three weeks now since Campsite was released, and I’m pleased to say that it’s been positively recieved by loads of people =) While making the film it’s been a hard time not to think about writing new films and shorter stories to try out techniques and different genres. Currently writing together a small synopsis of my next film project – it won’t be as long as Campsite or take as long to finish, as I’m hoping it could be a short film with some minor VFX – I did say that when I started to shoot Campsite, I know, but it should be true this time
Oh, today is exactly one year since we started filming Campsite! Time certainly flies! I’m currently in a hotel room on Mallorca enjoying the last week before I begin university on September 1st – will be studying film theory, and while it’s been a pretty amazing summer, it feels good and exciting to enroll in a new school, focusing entirely on the subject I love.
I also recorded a small promo/event film little over a week ago with Mahdi and Fredrik which I have been editing together – will post it on the website once it’s done – it’s not anything really exciting though – although come to think of it, I’m pretty happy with some of the shots I managed to get. Depending on wheather I will continue to do more and more event filming and photography, I’ll have to divide the movie section of the website somewhat to make a clearer distinction between the fiction-based stories, documentaries and event films/jobs. That’s still a bit away on the horizon though.
Will now continue to read the last remaining chapters of Stieg Larsson’s “Män som hatar kvinnor” – a thriller from 2003. It’s really really good so far, although quite disturbing – can’t wait to see the newly released Swedish film based on the same book which looks quite great.
I wish I could tell you more about the script or synopsis I’m working on/thinking about right now but it’s a bit difficult seeing as it’s either quite crap or not really thought-through just yet. Talk to you soon though, I’m hoping to be able to go back to writing more reviews too now that Campsite has been released
Speak to you all again soon!
Take care everyone!
