A Quick Update on What's Happening at FUL Film
Our documentary Cerebral Palsy Blues has now been available for two months. You can find it on five streaming platforms: Amazon Prime UK, Amazon Prime US, Vimeo OTT, ZeeZome, and Fawesome.
It’s available for free—with ads—on Fawesome.
If you’re an Amazon Prime UK subscriber, you can also watch it for free there. In the US, it's currently only available for rental on Amazon Prime.
I’d like to give a special shout-out to ZeeZome, an exciting emerging platform primarily for independent films. In my opinion, we need more platforms like this to support diverse filmmakers.
I'm also happy to announce that our short film The Killjerk Killer in the Woods will be screened at the Video Nasties Genre Filmfest in London on November 24. It sounds like the perfect festival for our tasteless little slasher. I’ll decide this week if I’m going to attend the festival.
Additionally, Alma Wants New Playmates will be available to rent on Vimeo OTT starting in December, with other streaming platforms to follow in 2025.
We’re also in the process of editing our latest feature, Freedom, Truth, Chaos, Death, and hope to have a rough cut finished by December.
On another note, we’re thinking about what our next feature film will be. It will either be a sequel to Alma Wants New Playmates or a feature-length version of The Killjerk Killer in the Woods. Whichever one we choose, it will be our first feature film in English.
All the best,
Daniel
SUNDAY JUNE 2TH 2024
When we started this feature film (FREEDOM, TRUTH, CHAOS, DEATH), it was something of a gamble. If one or two key people had stepped down, the entire project could have fallen apart. But here we are now, after five months of intensive filming, and we have reached our goal. Many thanks to everyone who has been involved in realizing the film. This is as much your film as it is mine.
FUL Film now has nearly three feature films ready to launch on the market over the next two years. Our first goal is modest, to primarily recoup the money we've invested.
If we succeed in that, we can budget for our next feature film, which will be something really sleazy or gory. A direct-to-TUBI film, made to satisfy the most primitive sides of the American audience. Cynical? Yes, maybe a little, but I also have a genuine love for the sleazy and the macabre, so it feels like the right path for me and FUL Film.
In the long run, it's also about making money from filmmaking. Personally, I have no problem being an eccentric artist working quietly, but wouldn't it be fantastic if my filmmaking friends and I could make our living from making movies?
Of course, it requires incredibly hard work to make that happen. But those who don't call three feature films hard work don't know what they're talking about, and I don't feel bitter or burnt out, quite the opposite. I love what I do and I feel more and more that I can do this.
Working at a regular job can also be hard and in the long run directly harmful to the soul.
One needs to find a balance in life. It’s about finding ways to engage in what you love, while also earning enough money to cover rent and other necessary expenses.
For the time being, it's working quite well for us.

FRIDAY 26TH JANUARY 2024
We've just started shooting our feature film FREEDOM, TRUTH, CHAOS, DEATH.
This movie will be a psychotronic roller coaster, just like we like them.
Filming will be taken place from January to June.
Here's some pictures from our first month of shooting.
THURSDAY 21TH SEPTEMBER 2023
Tonight we had a private screening of ”Alma wants new playmates” at Biograf Zita. Such a fun night! Got loads of feedback and questions like: ”Is Ingmar Bergman an influence?” and ”What the hell is wrong with your vampires?” Looking forward to more screenings!
