New poster drop! DESOLATION HEART starring Agnes Born written and directed by Chad Michael Ward produced by Patrik Edlund for Udda Studios in association with Film i Västerbotten and Filmpool Nord

Set life. #DesolationHeart

Set life. #DesolationHeart

World is on fire. Corporate media destroys everything. AI devours the rest. More than ever indie film made by real humans must be allowed to thrive. The only way it can is with help from our community of movie lovers & makers. DONATE today to keep this unique film alive: igg.me/at/fairydustmovie

Production on DESOLATION HEART has wrapped. What a wild ride these past few days have been. Working with lead actress Agnes Born was an incredible honor and privilege; she poured everything she had into bringing the character of “Moss” to life. I could not have asked for better.

New Interview Drop! Annabella Rich, Joss Carter and I met up wtih Dani Thompson for the Scream Princess Podcast recently to talk all things FAIRY DUST! Check out the link below to learn more about the film, and Annabella and Joss' roles! www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Sr...

Just realized, I'm going to be gone for a large portion of the next month. First to Norway, then the UK, then Denmark. Guess that's my summer plans sorted, then. Speaking of Denmark, any filmmaking friends want to meet up for coffee in Copenhagen?

I want to cast Agnes Born in all the things from now on. I can’t wait to show everyone the work she and I and the whole DESOLATION HEART team have created together. #horror #filmsky #scriptsky

Sometimes you go to make a movie and end up on the moon. On one of DESOLATION HEART’s many Day 1 locations with DoP Henning Sandström.

That's a wrap!

Day 1 of DESOLATION HEART in the can. I can honestly say, thanks to DoP Henning Sandström, this is by far the most stunning looking film I've ever had the pleasure of directing. And lead star Agnes Born absolutely KILLED it. The lengths she was willing to go to was jaw dropping. Day 2 starts now!

We clean up okay...

FAIRY DUST is proud to announce Nicholas Vince has been cast as both the mischievous "Ewen" and the voice of "The Devils". 80s horror fans will recognize Nick from his legendary role as The Chatterer in HELLRAISER as well as "Kinksi" in NIGHTBREED. We're thrilled to have him along for the journey!

48 hours until we start shooting this wicked sci-fi horror short. Had a really encouraging talk with our lead, Agnes Born, yesterday. Her enthusiasm for the film and the lengths at which she's willing to go to get the best out of our story is inspiring and humbling. I cannot wait.

Shout out to Backer #105 Emma Kiljo and Backer #106 Vincent Burtonshaw for their contribution to FAIRY DUST! Emma's our will "Name a Character" while Vincent is grabbing the Early Bird Special Ed.! Many, many thanks to both of you. 19 days left to get in on our film fund: igg.me/at/fairydustmovie

Me and my fellow creatives this week

In ONE HOUR, I will be on The Outcasts Creative livestream with producer Lydia Kay. Who's coming to watch? Join us here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW1z...

Crazy busy week ahead as we prep DESOLATION HEART to shoot this weekend. Absolutely thrilled with the team we've put together for this one, including star Agnes Born, DOP Henning Sandström, production designer Ian Wilson, the sound geniuses at Ljudbang AB, and of course, producer Patrik Edlund.

We should get in the habit of thanking people when they make entertaining art and share it with us for free on the internet.
