Ghostbirth 2: The Test Shoot

Dear friends,

there have been a few weeks of silence from my side, but now I’ve finished the test shoot in Bangkok and returned to Berlin.

In total, I spent four weeks in Bangkok for the pre-production of Ghostbirth 2. The first two weeks I mostly spent writing the script, developing ideas, and scouting locations to film at.

So thankful that I was again hosted by the Cinema Oasis Foundation

The third week was all about casting. In Thailand, Facebook is still a big thing, and there are many groups for actors, models, and other creative talents.

Announcing that I was working on a Thai horror movie got me more than 130 applications. I had multiple castings every day and met many interesting people.

Building a schedule that considered the availability of around 14 actors and 8 locations was a challenge, but it worked out smoothly.

We even had a practical effects team who built us a realistic torso for a particularly nasty scene with lots of blood!
