                                                        Film

 

Most movies, you can watch here, are created, shooted and edited by Sigurd.

He did so, either as a student at filmschool or as a independent individual.

Many of them are made with very close friends, whom we like to thank again for their inspiration and time !

        Short Movie

 

 

CHARLES IS CHARLES (orig. Karel is Karel)

Shot at Narafi Filmstudio, at locations, Ekeren, Essen 2000

16 mm

VHS offline re-edited 2:1, subtitles in English

 

6 year old Charles already  believes of himself to be very grown-up.

Imitating mum and dads attitude in live, he bumps into several

heavy facts of loving and living.

The girl next door even makes tensions rise.

 

The movie is shot in a very nervous, fast cutting style.

Limitations at that time forced us to make the film only by cutting(so no fancy dissolves or special features.)

 

Special thx to the Chunk-group, the whole crew and the actors!

A C-hunk production

Directed by Sigurd
