Linda Andersson is a writer/director/producer originally from Florida and now living in Los Angeles. She began her screenwriting career several years ago, in Florida, when she realized that she was more interested in bringing her characters to life, rather than keeping them trapped between the pages of books. After she became a finalist in several TV writing contests, she decided to take it to the next level and began directing and producing several short films, with all of them making the rounds on the film festival circuit. In 2007, Andersson packed up her life and made the big move from Florida to Los Angeles where she began working with actress, Deborah Stewart, and within months of Linda’s move, they produced the TV pilot, “The Seer.” Linda’s screenwriting efforts were rewarded during late 2008 when she sold her first feature length screenplay, “Pyramid Scheme,” which is currently in post-production. Andersson is now Here is a short interview with Linda, discussing her projects and film fund-raising efforts: Nina: You’ve actually made a number of short films so far. Can you name a few for us? Linda: Sure. As writer/producer we have “Moving Out!” And as writer/director I’ve made “Misconception,” “Mood Swing,” “Torn,” “The Seer” pilot, “When The Time’s Right,” “The 6 Month Rule,” and the web series “InSight.” Nina: What current projects are you working on? Linda: Right now I’m working on a novel based on “The Seer/InSight” film project. In the future, I hope to fund a vampire film, and the feature “The Rise of The Seer.” Nina: What have been the biggest stumbling blocks for you in making your films? Linda: The only stumbling block on the large scale is funding. On a small scale, in Los Angeles it’s finding locations that aren’t way over-priced because of the studio system… Since I’m not an actor, SAG does not work for me, so having to work within their rules can be challenging. But, it is nice to have really good actors to work with, so… Nina: What are you doing now to finance your projects? Linda: We are trying to go thru personal/professional networking. Online fundraising is too time consuming for the amount of funds raised, I think. Nina: Where can people go to learn more about you and your current projects? Linda: They can go to these links - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2316658/ http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi3582329881/ This link is the full 20 min. version of “The Seer” that isn’t chopped up for youtube. This ends the interview. But, you can look for great things to come from Linda in the future. You can also find Linda Andersson on Facebook, Twitter, and her website: www.riseoftheseer.com
Hi all that follow my blog to date. Sorry I haven’t posted as regularly as I had hoped. Things just happen. I do have a short interview with filmmaker Linda Andersson that I will post before the week is out – so stay tuned. The trailer for MALICE IN WONDERLAND – THE DOLLS MOVIE is now available on YouTube. But here it is. They are still “tweaking” a few things, but this is the basic trailer for the film. I think it will make you laugh. You can learn more about the film at: Not for youngsters, necessarily. Okay, as I promised, an update on what we’re doing to raise funds for our film projects. For the documentary on the link between domestic violence and animal abuse we are thinking of printing up a bunch of bumper stickers that we can use at events to sell, or as give-aways to people who donate a minimum of $25. But, which one do people like best, since I’m only going to print one right now? Which one do you all like best? 1. When he comes home and kicks the dog he’s just getting started. 2. People who abuse animals seldom stop there. Underneath each, in smaller type, is: On my next update, I have an interview with filmmaker Linda Andersson that I will be posting, along with clips from her series. You can also check out her current film work at: Sorry I haven’t written much lately. Have some projects gearing up and really busy. But, the question as an indie filmmaker always comes back to: “How the heck do we fund this beast!” Of course, it’s not really a “beast” so much as an unrequited love – that sits in the dark until we, as filmmakers, can bring it to life.
Well, a couple friends of mine who are internet marketing mavens (at least in my eyes), and myself – we’ve been working thru some ideas. So, for the next few months I’m going to be posting about making our films, what we are doing to raise funds, and how it’s going. I hope that along the way I will be able to share some interesting pieces of information and resources to other filmmakers. AND, I will try VERY hard to post something every two weeks. I will address each project separately most of the time, but here is what I’m currently working on, with friends of course: 1.) “Unnamed Project” – a great deal of research has been done over the past few years that link a very strong relationship between domestic violence and animal abuse. We have a professional crew and editor on board, but now we need to raise about $10,000 for this very important educational documentary “short.” Paul Grabowski will be directing this film. 2.) 20 WAYS – a narrative short film (15-20 minutes) about a woman dumped via a text message. As she goes through various stages of anger and grief, she fantasizes about how to get even with her “evil ex-girlfriend.” Suzanne Westenhoefer has expressed interest in the role of the evil ex. I will be directing this film.  20 Ways 3.) Finishing funds for FACES: Same-Gender Marriage in New Mexico. This has been a long labor of love and in the final stretch. I’ll be looking for funds for sound design, color and sound correction, final edit, and DVD’s for marketing and distribution (film festivals and such). I am the producer and writer of this film. 4.) And lastly, I’m writing a feature length script for a lesbian private eye film. It’s “working title” is ALL THAT REMAINS. It will include stalkers, murderers, ex-lovers, and maybe some familiar faces from the Sci Fi TV world (that is our goal, anyway). I hope you’ll come back once in awhile and check out our progress on these projects, and anything else I feel compelled to comment on. Maybe you’ll even consider buying our merchandise. Every little bit helps bring a film to life. See you at the movies! “There are always two people in every picture: ~ Ansel Adams REEL FOOD FROM REEL WOMEN: Our Favorite Dishes, is now in the hands of my graphic designers. I’m really excited about its upcoming release! It’s been quite a bit of work, and I hope you all will enjoy it. Now, I can get back to screenwriting! I need to do a final polish on “Virgin Canyon Massacre,” which is a lesbian supernatural thriller. I also have the outline for a lesbian P.I. drama that I want to start writing in about 2 months. So, busy times again! Rock ‘n Roll, baby! |
