Just came back from a small kick-off party for Short Film #21, the next film from director Csaba Bene Perlenberg which I’m working as 1st Assistant Director on. Was a very fun time and got to chat with a lot of great people, including both team members and fans of the project. Fun to have two projects rolling at once, as they’re quite different from eachother. Thanks everyone that showed up this evening! I look pretty tired in the image below. No comment.

So here is another update! It’s been almost a month, and a hectic one at that. Summer has officially started, with my studies in film theory finished and loads of new things going on around my life. So why no updates? Has the production of Exposed halted in some fashion?

Oh no. Not at all! Casting is basically finished, and I’ll introduce you to some of the new (and familiar) faces among the cast. It’s been a fun last couple of weeks – the screenplay is all done and finished, was out with Fredrik the other day and snapped some location photos, and most of the planning for the big two-week shoot is rapidly approaching completion. As it stands right now, we’re aiming to start filming the second week of July with a few smaller, yet quite personal, scenes. It’ll be fun to see the script finally come to life after months of work. Also, it’s a pretty big challenge as it’s way different from anything I’ve done before. Seriously cannot wait to get started on the project!

Also planning to revamp the website slightly this summer, to focus more on the production aspects and the company as a whole instead of it being so blog-focused, which it is at the moment. Don’t worry, the news posts and blog updates won’t go away at all – consider it more of a shift in focus. More updates on that as they come.

Can’t wait to tell you about some of the actors and actresses who are acting in the film – starting that process probably next week after some initial meetings and rehearsals are done.

The wheels of filmmaking are definitely in motion, and it feels fantastic. Hope you all have had a great start to the summer so far – updates will increase now that production moves closer and closer…

Also I’ll be studying at Skurups Folkhögskola the next year at least. I got accepted to both Skurup and Kulturama in Stockholm, but as it stands right now, several things (related among others to finding a place to stay in Stockholm and spend time with friends and family) have led me to choose to spend my next studying year in Skurup. I won’t be moving there though.

Take care everyone and I’ll speak to you very soon (it won’t be a month until my next update!)
