Gina Lee Ronhovde’s short film BOUDOIR played at the best of Horror/Thriller WILDsound FEEDBACK Film Festival in October 2015.

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK Video for BOUDOIR:

I recently chatted with Gina Lee Ronhovde about her horror and sexy short film:

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Gina Lee Ronhovde: A variety of factors. I had a dream when I was 13 years old, and always had a desire to revisit a moment in this dream. I wrote the screenplay for myself one afternoon as like a diary exercise, but I did not think it was going to be made into a film. Months later, while discussing it I was encouraged to make it, and I saw other filmmakers and what they did with short films/funding/pitching, so I went ahead with it.

From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make…

Harrison Norris’ short film A PEACEFUL MAN was the winner of Best Cinematography at the WILDsound FEEDBACK Film Festival October 2015 event. Easily the most violent film that has played at the festival, A PEACEFUL MAN is a 4 minute short that’s a must see movie for action, horror, thriller fans.

Watch the Audience FEEDBACK of A PEACEFUL MAN:

I recently sat down with Harrison Norris and talked about his short film and what’s next for the Professional Stunt Man turned Film Director:

Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?

Harrison Norris: That’s a question with a few moving parts.

It all started when I read a news article about a little old woman who, in a burst of adrenaline, managed to single-handedly lift one side of a rolled car, off a trapped child. That fascinated me; not because an old lady was lifting a car, but because…

The theme of the OCTOBER 2015 FILM FESTIVAL was:
“DEATH”.

Every film showcased on the night was about a character who dies or is already dead. This festival evening was especially unique because every film screened received a substantial vote by the audience for “best film” of the evening. It was the closest vote we ever had as every single film was in the race.

Here’s the summary of each film:

– A PEACEFUL MAN: Someone is about to die but won’t leave without a fight.

– BELL TOWER ENIGMA: The mystery of an empty church. Where are they and who is still alive?

– THE BLOOD OF LOVE: A widow has a machine that brings her dead husband…

“Nicely directed film. Creates anticipation. Nice sound design too.”

“Amazingly paced film. Nicely choreographed. High angles. Slow motion. Terrific.”

“The contrast of rage while on screen with the peaceful voice over. Loved it.”

A PEACEFUL MAN, Australia, 4min, Action/Thriller
Directed by Harrison Norris

Beaten within an inch of his life, a peaceful man has a gruesome epiphany through violence.

Director’s Statement

Hi there, I’m Harrison Norris, the writer/director/editor/producer/etc of ‘A Peaceful Man’

The short was conceived from the concept that: no matter how rational or non-violent we see ourselves, under the right circumstances we are all capable of anything; whether we know it or not. The film is a fine slice of time, revolving around the exact moment the titular peaceful man, Harper, realises he is capable…
