Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computers and Pixar Animation, and his commencement speech at Stanford is probably one of the most inspiring persons/stories in my life.

The Attic
To take part in the Edinburgh Movie Production Society's - GOLDEN VIDEO AWARDS - election we had to come up with a story that would encompas the theme: mine.
As head of the THRILLER genre group within this society I came up with a story about a young woman, violin player and prize-winner of the prestigious Young Talent Award for the Music School in Bratislava (Slovakia). I guess I choose this city because the name is such a nice name...
The young woman, Cindy Logan, would have moved in to the Attic of a flat in Bratislava, appearantly. We find her whilst on the phone with her mom.
Cindy Logan, played by the lead actress
The at first warm and friendly surrounding in the Attic changes gradually into a macabre and cold thriller apt environment.
Things are getting colder...
With the right change of lighting and the relating soundtrack, mastered by our coolest Sound Designer from Greece - the TENSION, which defines a thriller movie, is noticable.
I will at some point publicize the short (5 mins) film here on my blog, but for now we are into the competition!
The Attic - a thriller movie created by me and my crew
Hopefully our Edinburgh audience and the jury will get the creeps out of our story and praise us with their judgement.
Something to keep ME up at night ;o)
== UPDATE: The Attic wins Golden Video Award for Best Cinematographic Film ==
Left-to-right: Gabriel (cinematographer), Rob (host), Willem (director), Vivian (sound recordist)
Yes! We have won the prestigious prize with our thriller movie at the Golden Video Awards.
And to include you in our joyfulness below you have the opportunity to watch The Attic for yourself.

3 Person Dialogue
Welcome back to film course, with latest assignment; a 3-person dialogue.
We learn from this how to cover a conversation where more than two 'people' are speaking, useful for interview recordings in my future career.
To complete this assignment successfully I made use of Extra-terrestrial powers. Friends played a wedded couple that found some excitement with the inclusion of ... dare I say it... an ALIEN!
Below are the pictures of this short film about a Happy Birthday. Imagine yourself waking up the morning after and finding your 'present' at the breakfast table, a contented wife and a new breeded egg you've become the father of.
Husband waking up
Wife content with the usual 'morning after' sigaret
Green hand of ALIEN grabbing a banana
A new to-be-born alien, calling for its Daddy
Weird??? Yes indeed. But funny too, hopefully.
