Movies You Made: “Marianne” by Filip Tegstedt
For several months, I’ve been tagging a bunch of emails from filmmakers who have contacted me about their film projects, so I figured we should feature them this May. If you have a movie, either short-form or long, with which you were involved — writer, actor, director — please either email me or post details in comments. Happy to promote them on GITS.
Today we feature the full-length movie Marianne from Swedish writer-director Filip Tegstedt. Here is part of an email from Filip:
Hi Scott,
Thanks for getting in touch. I’m @TheNorthlander on Twitter.
I wrote, directed and produced a feature film called “Marianne” (co-starring Peter Stormare) that did the festival tour in 2011 and was released on DVD and television in Sweden in 2012. It’s a microbudget indie made entirely outside the system, that got a pretty decent festival run and got some great reviews from online critics.
I’m still hoping for foreign distribution (outside Sweden). Fangoria did a two page article on it this month (issue #322) so maybe that’ll stir things up a bit, we’ll see.
Thanks, Filip, and good luck with your movie!
Again if you have a film project you have been involved with and would like me to promote it on GITS, and I can embed it, email me or post details in comments.
May is Movies You Made month. Let’s celebrate your cinematic creativity!
