No budget. No mercy. The Swedish film world is hypocritical. Directors complain about how mostly middle class people work in films and then cast members of Sweden's ancient nobility in the lead. My generation is tired of films by tourists that exploit our pain to gain good reviews, awards and a carer. The cultural elite hates horror, gore & genre. So that what I did. I mixed all the things I loved from my upbringing; magic, anime, b-horror etc.
I was studying film theory at the University of Stockholm. I got to
see a lot of good films, but there was this air of many of the theories
where just pretense and lacked substance. But it also allowed me a lot
of free time which I put to use to make the
film. Having no money, I made use of friends and friends of friends to
get a hold of all the things I needed for the film, like Nazi uniforms,
costumes.
I think the PINK8-manifesto pretty much describes the process of
how Evil Easter 3 was made. I had characters from my surroundings and had
no freaking idea what the film was about (there was no script). I used
my DV to film and had my flat triple for the
interiors.
There are a lot of more stuff coming up. Currently I am prepping a
short about hipsters and telepathic mushrooms from space. Also I am in
the early stages of a slasher film called Elf Sacrifice & a black
comedy about a graduation.
