Hi everyone,
My sci-fi / fantasy short 'Mr. Bojagi' has just launched for a limited online run.
The film stars Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon / Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) and is available in full for ten days on www.dailymotion.com/gb
'Mr. Bojagi' is a completely independent production. We had no support from any of the UK's funding bodies. Instead, the DoP and me (director) funded the very small budget from our own pockets.
The film has won the 2010 'British Lion Award' for achievement in independent film and the jury award for 'Best Short Film' from the London Independent Film Festival.
If you have ten minutes we'd really, really appreciate if you can give it a watch.
There are a series of short 'making of' films too - www.dailymotion.com/mrbojagi
All the best,
Marco van Belle
Director / producer - Mr. Bojagi
Hi again,
I just want to update this threat and announce that my short film Mr. Bojagi has now been released to download on iTunes.
It was released last week (in the UK, US release might have been a bit earlier) and just yesterday it broke into the iTunes Best-Sellers film chart.
This is incredible for us - because to get into this chart Mr. Bojagi has had to out-perform feature films (we beat Ridley Scott's Robin Hood among hundreds of others).
Yes, we were in at a lowly 190... but for a short to break into the main chart at all is something we're really stoked about. We're also in the top 100 in the 'comedy' category... again up against feature films as well as shorts.
If you haven't heard about this film please check out our website - www.mrbojagi.com.
We've also released a host of 'behind the scenes' videos on my youtube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/MarcovanBelle - these give an insight into how we took a tiny budget and managed to cast a name actor and make an award-winning short.
Thanks as every for all and any support.
If you see the film I very much hope you enjoy it.
Best,
Marco
