"It was a very rainy day and the equipment was heavy but we were happy about the shooting result!" says producer Margarete Jangård the day after.
The Minireality project has developed during a longer period of time here at WG Film.
While he was working on a documentary film, Ulf Södergren wrote some shorter, experimental scenes. This led to the short film ”Game is never over”. It screened at festivals in Europe and Brazil. Subsequently the collaboration with scriptwriter Ola Saltin was initiated.
Now there are synopsises completed for ten films, as well as a newly produced vignette.
It’s time for this project to face the world.
Minireality is about the struggle between the magic of childhood and the adult lack of imagination – and here the children win. The project consists of 26 episodes, primarily for television. But also as an edited version, for children’s cinema screening. This project definitely has international potential.
Minireality will be produced with HD-technology, the form being fiction with elements of animation/stop-motion and visual effects.
The format, number of episodes and the set-up with no fundamental dialogue, makes this project easy to version. This facilitates international financing and also strengthens the project’s international potential.
Minireality is as well a project that suits new forms of distribution such as mobile phone technology and Internet. We are currently investigating and developing ways of working with these new platforms. Already now, WG Film works intensely with marketing our films through our website.
Minireality has so far received development funding as a part of WG Film’s MEDIA Slate Funding 2nd Stage and from Ralf Ivarsson/Film i Skane.
The series is told through Alice and the target audience is children between the ages of 4-77.
It is homage to the magic of childhood, the magic we as adults often have forgotten;
The art of never being bored.
