Another of a Ghost

For every month of 2015 there will be another short film made by Ronny Carlsson (Film Bizarro Productions) as an attempt to motivate and inspire himself. There are no rules to the content, but each short film will be released in the state that they are when the month ends. Most of them will not be released until the end of the project, so consider this a teaser. Another of a Ghost is about the modern ways of traveling news and how it affects us.


I've been watching and reviewing Ronny's films for quite a few years now, and he's one of the few filmmakers I know who makes what I consider to be true horror films: no jump scares, no lame CGI... Shit, most of the time they don't even have a coherent/linear plot. Ronny's films are like tumors: they grow quietly in the darkness, but metastasize quickly and violently. They're like nightshade seeds, taking root in your subconscious and swiftly blooming into flowers of rotted flesh, sending out vines to strangle any and all remaining hope. I could go on and on with the rancid metaphors, but surely you get the idea by now.

When Ronny told me he was embarking on a year long project to make one short film every month, I was excited. When he asked me to narrate the debut short - a four minute long delve into despair by proxy entitled Another Of A Ghost - I immediately agreed. And so here it is. And I think I suck. I hate the sound of my own voice. But Ronny thinks it works and paid me the ultimate compliment of calling my narration "bleak." I wince at the very idea of all of my friends listening to the amateur sound of my stupid voice, but hey - if Ronny's happy with it - as happy as a Swedish guy can be, anyway - then who am I to judge?

Here, judge for yourselves:
