So yes?

( At the national library )

A couple of months ago my good friend Anders Lönnfeldt called me up and asked if I wanted a small part in his and Kenneth Klaile’s new action flick. I responded in a positive tone and here we are today, shooting. The shoot has been going on in Helsinki for about 5 or 6 days and today it was time for my part.

( The Ramedus as assistant to the camera assistant.. )

The film is called “The Insignificant Truth”, I read the script yesterday and it will probably be an “around 10 minute action film with a Guy Ritchie-esque touch”. Kenneth Klaile, the director of the thing, has in the past done several shorts and I have liked them all in one way or another.. So it’s really a pleasure to be an “actor” in his new baby. I haven’t got that much experience in acting, but hey, what’s the big deal? My role is to fire one gun shot, to play dead in like 3 shots, and to be dragged in a plastic bag.. So it’s not that complicated…

So, the pic above illustrates my acting skills, with a gun an everything. This is the moment when my character has been shot at Gimpy Jim’s office by the infamous Tommy the Twat, played by Klaile.. Gotta love the names! My role is called the Cunt’s son..

I am to “act” out my part twice this day, right now I’m on a 8 hours long break from the set, later tonight I’m being picked up by one of the production assistants for my second shoot. That shoot is being held at Hotel Haven somewhere in the city center. It’s really exciting to have a small part on a project of this size, I could do this for living, people come to pick you up, people tell you what to do, people feed you, all you have to do is play dead.. Kinda like kinder garden, only not at all like it, or whatever..

I don’t know for how long this film has been in production, porbably months even before shooting, everything seems to be so well arranged by the producer Lena Carlsson. And the script is well written by Klaile. They told me that the movie will be finished some time during this spring, perhaps in April or so.. So that’s quite an enormous amount of dedication, 5 months for ten minutes of high class action.

( Someone’s Nikon has been left alone.. )

Fun fact for you guys, Anders Lönnfeldt is the main photographer for this flick, assisted by Ramedus, and on the screen you’ll see Tage, at least for some seconds.. The same team that is putting together several music videos during the upcoming months. I can’t really say why that was a fun fact, but it was alright? Yes, I might as well mention that the main part in “The Insignificant Truth” is played by Kris Gummerus. The movie is in the English language and from what I’ve heard, these past days of shooting has gone by fabulously!

A final pic for you guys!

( Shot )

I’ll hand you the second part of this blog tomorrow after my acting is done. At night time I’m heading to the set again which means more pics for tomorrow’s post. Stay tuned!
