Oscar nominated back in 2004, it seemed to be a good idea to delve further into the work of Mikael Håfström, best known for recently directing the horror 1408 in 2007 and thriller Derailed back in 2005. With a blunt title filled to the brim with terror and loathing, Evil is exactly about what it proclaims to be. Yet the film is concerned with much more than just acts of pure malevolence – rather is explores ideas of control, manipulation and, most importantly, intense suffering.

“Originally achieving some sort of semblance of fame as the singer-guitarist of ’80s alternative band Pop Will Eat Itself, Clint Mansell is today the man I will happily and enthusiastically call the best film score composer working today. Born in Coventry in 1963, Mansell’s work as an indie musician revealed a spirit keen to explore new ground, encompassing pop, hip-hop, electronica and rock over their 10 year existence from from ’86 to ’96…”

It is difficult to anticipate how a director whose past achievements range from the comedic School of Rock to the sharp animation A Scanner Darkly will handle an almost biographical insight into the volatile personality of the legendary Orson Welles. Cue the inclusion of Zac Efron, renowned all-singing, all-dancing teenage heartthrob, whose fame sprang from the undoubtedly cheesy High School Musical saga and we think we know what to expect from Linklater – the ‘Me’(Zac Efron) overshadowing the ‘Orson Welles’(Christian McKay), and let’s face it, we did not come to …

I am more intelligent than you and more sexually virile.”

“I am not a tall person, but I seem shorter than I am because I tend to slouch. A chav once told me I was the prettiest girl he had seen that day, but he was probably just being nice. I worry about things and daydream excessively.”

“As a first year student of Cinematography at International Film School Sydney I have the opportunity to work with different cinematographers and directors from all of the world. It gives me huge experience to not only develop my technical skills but to work with different point of view on storytelling from a cinematography perspective.”

” I made a short film for a national film competition when I was 17, and I won in my age group. (Granted, the second-placed film consisted solely of a close-up of a fat mouth eating cake, which cheapened the victory rather.) Since then, I’ve had an ever-growing interest in using film to tell stories and recount events in creative, ambitious and enjoyable ways…”
