Delirium Dreams the movie

I'm so glad to be able to inform all of you my lovely readers that Delirium Dreams short film has been put up on YouTube. And now you're able to watch it too.

If you're a new reader, welcome to my blog! This blog is about writing and being an amateur author. This very post you are reading is about a short film project in which I worked as a scriptwriter. About Delirium Dreams shortly: we made it for Mental Health Art Week short film competition. Film is a fictive story about two young people meeting an unknown, dark stranger who in fact is an evil shaman looking for unsuspecting victims to make her betting to the evil forces. The stranger gives the young a bottle of Belladonna, herb booze that contains psychotomimetic deadly nightshade. The young have no idea what's happening to them but one thing is sure... journey to nightmares and madness has begun.

Please do comment to us on YouTube to the comment field below :) Enjoy the ride!

Premier coming soon

So finally the eve of Delirium Dreams premier is around and I'm literally going to go nuts because I'm so nervous of how audience will welcome it :/ But I couldn't be happier. After many backfires it will finally be realised though I already thought at one point that we wouldn't ever actually release it for real. That it was an unrealistic dream.

I want to thank everyone who believed, everyone who gave their support and most of all everyone who made this possible.

I'll be back at you after premier.

Making of Delirium Dreams

Yesterday our lovely director Veera loaded "Making of shortfilm Delirium Dreams" video on YouTube. I gotta tell you guys that it has been a real honour to work with her. And with Delirium Dreams team and cast.
Veera and the team supported me with every step. Even when the script had to be rewritten almost completely a week before deadline. There's no better team one can hope for <3

"Making of shortfilm Delirium Dreams"

Coming up bad food from McDonald's, inability to keep up the appearances, "omfg, she's wearing reino -slippers!" and a major fail in trying to hide from the camera. Enjoy!

Please comment, like and share. And don't miss the movie!

See you in Mental Health Art Week!

Project "Delirium Dreams"

"Once upon a time in the dark forests of Finland, I heard a story of two young friends who met a great unknown shaman. The young had no idea what they got theirselves into. An innocent looking woman with friendly behavior isn't always what she appears to be..."

Hi people! I have all new project to introduce to you. This project is called Delirium Dreams. And it is the best project I've ever been involved to. It is also one of a kind that happens once in a blue moon (especially if you are a nobody like me). So, what is Delirium Dreams?

Delirium Dreams is a short film of what happens when someone affects to your psyche with psychotomimetic substances.
In the film two young females meet an unknown gothic lady but there's something weird about her. The way she acts and reacts isn't quite normal. This unknown dark stranger gives the young a bottle of liquid x, herb booze that contains psychotomimetic belladonna. And the journey to madness and nightmares can begin.

Shooting Delirium Dreams 22.3.2014

Pictures below are real making of pictures.

 Shaman and her victims

Director, make-up artist Veera Lapinoja and Mörkö the cat

 What an exciting day starting. We started at 10 am at Veera's where she did make up for our brilliant actresses. 

Belladonna bottle and other booze bottles (no we didn't really drink them)

Tintti's make-up needed to be polished

Cheers!

From Veera's place we went outside to a park where we shot the outdoor scenes. One of our stars found herself a Bacardi bottle. 

It's completely normal that people take pictures of you when you are cutting yourself...

"Bloody" knife props

Unbelivably real looking make-up for slit wrists :O

We ended shootings back at Veera's place around 3 pm. And we are all excited to see what our film looks like when it's edited and all. I'm not quite sure if I have guts to watch it because I almost shat myself during the shooting (would be shame though since I'm the one who wrote the script).

Countdown starts NOW! Stay tuned and remember to check Delirium Dream in Mental Health Art Week that opens on 19th May.
