I Justed installed Windows Live Writer, which is the first desktop client for blogging i’m testing. I was curios to see if it gets me to start blogging more frequently or better. So far it feels like a very nice and comfortable system. :-)

The master of Rom com...
What can you say about writer Richard Curtis, other than that he is truly todays master of rom-coms.
From Four weddings and a Funeral, to
Notting Hill (just finished watching this back at my hotelroom).
and Bridget Jones Diary (screenplay).
In a writers note in the published script of Four Wedding and a Funeral, Curtis gives us four advices for a successfull script.
1. Never write your idea at once. Think about it for a long time, before you actually start writing.
2. Never write on commision.
3. Meke sure you have your script edited by someone you really trust.
4. Try to cast Hugh Grant in all parts.
Many people have tried the last one, but forgot that Hugh Grant alone doesnt make a good movie. You need Richard Curtis as well...

Patricia Highsmith Rulez!
Right now I'm on my way to Stockholm by train. Made me think of this old classic movie, directed by Mr. Hitch.
Funny enough I dind't know Patricia Highsmith wrote the novel the script was based on. I read an article by her once, about the importance of the first ten pages in a script (among other things) it was really great. She also wrote The Talented Mr. Ripley - and even though the later is not of same caliber, it still is a very, very good movie.

There was a time....
...when stories were told in pictures...
...when the cuts were placed to have an impact....
..when people cared about pacing....

Now THAT's a great story!
The Purple Rose of Cairo - trailer.
Siskel & Ebert about The Purple Rose of Cairo
The Purple Rose of Cairo must be best meta-film ever produced. I truly love this picture and I keep watching it every time it’s on TV. I’m of course a big fan all Woody Allen Movies. But my two favorites are for sure Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo. I was also a big fan of Siskel & Ebert and I really miss these great film critiques now when Gene is not around anymore. I truly love film critiques who can talk about the making of the movie in a way that you know they really know what they are talking about – and inspire to new insights about the craft. Most film critiques today just talk about the good (or bad) acting and about the script (they never read).
The Purple Rose of Cairo was also one of the films I studied in college. I remember that we had to analyze the irony, the settings and clothing of the characters in relations to the main plot and the character development.

I'm skilled in digital art of filmmaking, educated at Colorado Mountain College and Swedish Gothenburg Fimacademy, Drama Center, as well as the filmproduction program at University West.
