About me:
Well where do I start...

I'm a Swedish filmmaker, living in Malmo, Sweden, but I consider myself a citizen of the world. I travel a lot both through work but also privatly. Grew up watching lots of film, and thus became passionate enough about it to start making my own. Worked for various production companies between 1995 and 2000. I started my own independent production company, Grindhouse Pictures, in 2001, and have since then produced and directed some shorts, feature documentaries, commercials, promos while working on my feature film debut. I also do production service through the company.

Credits Include
Frostbite (Feature Film) (Production Manager/Line Producer)
Desperately Seeking Seka (Feature Documentary) (Writer/Director/Producer)
Hollywood (Short Film) (Producer)
BUFF (Commercial) (Producer/Co-Director)

Since 1999 I have been a programmer for Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden, the largest and only exclusiv genre film festival in Scandinavia. To be able to program films that you enjoy yourself and showing them for the first time to a Swedish audience, as well as promoting and helping with distribution is really fulfilling. This combined with all the wonderful people and fellow filmmakers you meet in this line of work makes the whole experience and hard work worth while.

I am also the web producer for Melies.org the official website for the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation, as well as Myspace.com/meliesfederation here at My Space.
Who I'd like to meet:
Fellow filmmakers from all over the world, people interested in film & music, new friends, film festival people, and others wanting to network.

“Trial by Self” is a psychological suspense thriller of a different sort. Whether you are looking for action, violence and suspense or you want to be moved watching smaller personal struggles, this movie will have it and nothing will ever feel out of place. It is currently in post production and the editing process will begin in 3 months. After many months of editing we intend on touring the festival/market circuit. After this, we are aiming for it to be picked up for limited theatrical release. Be one of the first people to be “in the know” about what will one day be a cinematic cult sensation! Message us to learn more!

Hello Christian Hallman,

I have uploaded a new video. You will find it on my myspace website.

It's a short film called "Box in Box", created by the young talented and promising director Tom Bewilogua.

I have created the music and the sound design. It was extremely enjoyable to work on this movie.

I hope you enjoy it just as I am, while watching it.

Stay creative

Hey Friend!

We hope all is well? Don’t be a stranger; we love to hear what’s going on with you, even if you just told us yesterday. Sorry for being so slow in responding to messages, we are doing our best to catch up. How would you finish this rhyme, “roses are red, violets are blue..................” Whoever has the best answer will get a free CD.

Much Love,
