Updating my reel and had reason to rewatch this moody short I shot a few years ago in Dartmoor with Soja. I am forever floored by the incredibly powerful vocal performance by Annabella Rich who narrates the piece.

DESOLATION HEART is finished and I've sent it out to all my industry friends. So far, everyone has had some really nice things to say about it, with lead Agnes Born and the films stylized imagery getting heaps of praise. Happy to hear it's landing well!

Got dental work today and it sucked. But if you want to put a smile back on my face, give a little something to Ofrenda’s Kickstarter. #filmsky #scriptsky #filmmaking

Just finished VOICELESS by @cynohead.com and WOW. Definitely one of the better specs I've read in a long while. I can absolutely see why it's a PAGE Gold Prize Winner. David's an incredibly skilled storyteller and I can't wait to see what he does next!

While in Finalnd, I got the official audio mix in from our sound guys for DESOLATION HEART and wow. This film sounds so so good! Amazing what a proper mix will do for a film. Very excited to show this off at whatever festival we end up at next!

It feels like a dream. Nearly 4 months ago now, we were in Wales getting ready to shoot FAIRY DUST. Got to meet so many wonderful artists and actors who busted their ass to bring my vision alive. It's all quiet surreal. I miss my UK team fiercely, and hope to return someday to play again.

I am arrived back in Sweden.
Currently on a ship cutting across the frozen ice on 2 hours sleep, sitting in the bar watching a Finnish cover band absolutely butcher “Summer of 69”, “Wonderwall” and other classic hits while small children dance and chase each other across the tiered floors. My life is an epic, surreal art film.

Sometimes you end up in the home of a professional clown, on a sweltering hot summer day in L.A., with your gorgeous best friend, to test out your new camera and gimbal. Not a bad way to spend a few hours.

Prototype will be called THE PROBLEM WITH ZERO, feature is GODEATER. It's a fantastical story influenced by Jodorowsky & Gondry.
"An enigmatic man with no past and an unknown future embarks on a journey of discovery that puts him in the middle of a bizarre battle between a devil and a god."
