FIRST REVIEW

So, the lack of updates doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything. I have finished the movie and Tommy at Fanatisk Film has reviewed it!

Check out the first review of my first feature film:

I SHOT HER

I shot a pretty good scene with Amelie yesterday. Happy with how it turned out and what it adds to the movie, even though it was just one scene.

I have upped a new picture from the film:

JUST A FEW STEPS

There's only three major scenes left to shoot, but the reason it's taking a while is because we need people in the scenes that aren't Ronny god damn Carlsson! Or do we? Maybe it's better to just have me on there, doing a little dance.. Who knows?

But either way, I hope to see the film in it's finished state in November if we're lucky. I have some fun plans of distribution for it, so we'll see what happens.

FILMING ENDING

Tomorrow I will be filming the ending to my secret project, and I'm doing it with someone I've never met before. I'm sure it will turn out great, but clearly I'm nervous. You never know, right?! But... fuck it, nothing can go wrong when you have the force of a shitty camcorder in your hands.

BYE MICHAEL, HELLO MARCUS!

A little update then... We have good and bad news about Dust Box. Sadly, because of scheduling that just don't work for either of us, Michael Todd Schneider won't be making the props for Dust Box. Clearly we will work together at other times - one of these days maybe even co-create something. For now, we wish him luck on his other projects (as plural as ever!).

The good news is about Michael's replacement, which will be none other than Marcus Koch! Marcus has quite an impressive filmography behind him. As a director he's made such titles as 100 Tears and Fell. And under special effects.. Fuck, where should I start? 100 Tears, Andreas Schnaas' Nikos The Impaler, H.G. Lewis' The Uh-Oh Show, Sweatshop, The Theatre Bizarre, Slow Torture Puke Chamber, and so on! (for a longer list: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1155596/)

We hope that people are happy with this decision!

POSTER ART--ISH

I have uploaded a little sneaky sneak of a poster art I did for the film I'm currently doing.


To quote my comment on Facebook about it (I blame laziness):
"Test art for the little hush-hush film I'm doing now for pretty much no money. Much smaller project than Récompence and Dust Box.

Title and tagline aren't on this, to keep it on the low key a bit more.

I had to make a poster with my name huge as fuck, since Trier has his own Melancholia poster ;) Someone said that when a director has himself on the poster of a film he directed, something's wrong. So I did my own take on it!"

FILMING 9/23

Did some filming yesterday for my current project. I think it went great! It's gonna be fun putting the final film together, but it's a long way till I get there. I hope to get more shot soon. Better do it before the snow comes!

INSPIRATION

It's weird how something can just punch you in the face with inspiration when you least expect it. And at other times, something you expected would inspire you leaves you completely empty. I just watched the movie Viy (1967). A very good russian movie, atmospheric, creepy, great effects for the time, and just overall a pleasant watch. But nothing. Normally horror oddities like these inspire me greatly, so much that idea after idea will pop up while watching it. Sometimes stuff that helps me with the current movie I am making, but in most cases it's ideas that requires an all new movie idea altogether. Another good movie I watched that didn't inspire in the least was Wound (2010). The last film that really inspired was Seeking Wellness (2008). It didn't inspire me to make something of the same kind, but parts of it really got my brain going in the right direction. I really need to thank the movies I watch more often than I do.

I should also add that I'm not bashing the movies that didn't inspire me, it's not that I am calling the movies themselves "uninspiring". Maybe next time I watch them they do. I can't control what ideas should pop into my head at what times!

NEWEST PROJECT

I hope to start filming my latest project (again, NOT Dust Box) next week. This is just a fun try-and-fail-no-promoting project, much like Video Geisteskrank was. I am looking forward to it like hell because it will keep me busy during the winter (but my brain will still have a heart attack... wait a minute, how does that work?.. over Dust Box). You shouldn't expect anything, it won't deliver what you expect anyway.

NEW SITE / BLOG

So, I figured that if I am gonna be updating the Film Bizarro Productions page frequently, I need to make it a blog. It's been ages since I last updated the old one. So here's the new page, it will serve as the official website for Film Bizarro Productions (Récompence still has http://www.filmbizarro.com/recompence/).

As you can see, I have also added a list of in-production-films as well as films that might not be made (or at least not for a long time). Hope you enjoy that little page, which you should if you like our films!

You can download Video Geisteskrank and My Monster through the Filmography-page, and you can also watch trailers, etc. there.

I will use this blog for more personal posts regarding filmmaking as well so if you wanna keep track on my thoughts (why would you?) and what I'm working on right now, make sure to check back now and then!

So let's start with that right away:
I am currently working on getting a film made before the end of the year. This is not Dust Box, but a film I came up with just a few days ago, which I think will be a lot of fun to make. I can't reveal yet what it will be, but it's a bit different to what I've done so far (but not entirely).

PRESS

Youtube review: monsta243

"Holy shit is this movie ever a mind fuck!"
- Running With Scissor's Review

"A surreal head trip..."
- Michael Todd Schneider, Maggot Films.



"Video Geisteskrank is an extremely gruesome movie..."
- Running With Scissors' Review

"#83 - Video Geisteskrank"
- Running With Scissors' Top 100 Most Violent Movies

"Ronny Carlsson's short, Video Geisteskrank, which I believe translates to "Video Deranged" is perhaps one of the most lurid, brutal and unsettling shorts I have ever seen. The movie, silent and shot in black and white using mostly available light has a snuff/neo-mondo feel to it."
- Pericles Lewnes, director of Redneck Zombies and LOOP.
