Berlinale, Take II
Having been thrilled about Mommy Is Coming being selected for the Berlin International Film Festival 2012, I found out now that another film I shot got in to Berlinale: 
Rodicas’, by director Alice Gruia will have its world premiere there. It was so much fun making it.
And so much has happened since. My congratulations to the team and: See you there!
Cast&Crew Premiere in Berlin
nicht weit von mir (not far from me), a feature I shot in 2009/2010 in Bavaria, Germany, will be screened in Berlin for all supporters, cast&crew. If you’d like to participate as a gust, please contact me for details.
Rodicas Crew-Premiere in Cologne
The Filmstiftung NRW funded documentary Rodicas, directed&produced by Alice Gruia, shot by Sanne Kurz, has its cast&crew premiere on 4th of June in Cologne, Germany. It’s definitely worth to meet the two Rodicas upfront on the film’s homepage. What a set of lovely Ladies they are!
Grading of DSLR feature
Thanks to D-Facto Motion kindly sponsoring us we can grade nicht weit von mir this week on Scratch in a lovely suite with projection. Having shot on DSLR I expected all sorts of major problems – especially when doing secondaries or having larger tweaks. But so far all goes surprisingly well and the 5D with all its pros and cons has not let me and colorist Sebastian Wild down. Watch nicht weit von mir (working title Andererseits) here or here.
Girls Who Smoke
A film about girls with bad boyfriends and bad habits by Tawnya Foskett. Film stills here.
It’s an American production. No
generous public funding in this movie. All budget for this film comes from private and corporate sponsors. Make a difference and post your tax-deductible contribution to post production now on kickstarter.
The Biggest Lie – Official Trailer
Before I went to shoot Where there’s Smoke in New Jersey, I posted here a few snippets from the dailies of a film I shot in NY earlier this year.
Now The Biggest Lie by Masood Haque of Eksaki Films, shot on DSLR in Feb 2010 on location in Manhattan, is finished. Watch the trailer, and check the homepage for more information.
I love the mood of this trailer a lot. But the snippets from the dailies are slightly better upload quality. So if you came here to check DSLR footage, compare Canon 7D with Canon 5D etc…check the snippets!
Social Drama with a Sci-Fi Comedy Touch.
A while back, I shot in Germany Mein linker grosser Zeh. Produced by the production house UE Spionjak, written & directed by a set of at least three directors, an extended family of Croatian-German descend. Entertaining at its best & funny to the bone the Spionjaks made with Mein linker grosser Zeh their debut appearance on the big screen, having done lots of commercials and shorts in the past as well as successfully produced music for over 20 years in their studios in the Bavarian Tötzham.
Mein linker grosser Zeh is a comedy & a drama with social & sci-fi elements. What sounds like sprung from the minds of crazy people, is beyond that intensly entertaining and heaps of fun to watch.
For English audience, there is a small Walsh-Irish intermezzo from the music-comedians Mark’n Simoan guest-starring as the useless snipers Bell&Bone.
5D larger trend than 3D
Having visited the cinema technique exhibition cinec yesterday, Everybody could see that 5D is moch more of a trend than 3D…excuse the pun…
Andererseits, a German feature film by director Rüdiger Görlitz which I shot on the Canon 5D mkII early last year, just published a new teaser.
Have a look at the montage of rushes here and tell me which version you’d like to see up there on my showreel.
…oh, and did you hear of the
new German version of my homepage?
