where the wild things are

here's the first poster for an upcoming film where the wild things are, produced by spike jonze. the film is an adaptation of a children's book with the same name by maurice sendak. a really creative book, the film is expected to be filled with visual narratives that will be eye-opening for all audiences.

the film documents the imaginary adventures of a young boy named max, who is angry after being sent to his room without supper. he then creates a forest inhabited by many large imaginary monsters, who crown him their ruler. he then befriends a large monster called carol, who helps him understand the meaning of love.

film is slated for release, oct. 16, 2009.

magnus engsfors

his short film, suddenly, is an experimental shortfilm illustrating the moment of a mental collapse of a human being, using still photography, particles and lights, and a pretty surreal choice of background music.
