Anticlimax



Spring last year, I got a call from director Ruben Östlund who wanted me to do the filmposter for his new film, De Ofrivilliga. It was a great assignment, free, fun, a very interesting process to follow the development with the film and a greatful task for me reciving positive feedback from Ruben. When the poster was almost ready the film distributor decided not to go with the directors plan but to use a photo from the film instead. So the poster was never used, but as said, a very fun assignment. Click to see it bigger.

The movie had premiere in november last year, we were there. It´s an outstanding movie, see it.

Oh what a disappointment! It looks fantastic and surely an image from the film is a bit obvious?
Well done tho!

I love all the faces-- each different and compelling. I want you to publish this poster so I can buy it. Do you have a way to do that? Jim

Each drawing is wonderful in its' own way and yet together they form such a cohesive piece. I love your drawing style :)

That poster is amazing.. and so unique. Thank you for sharing it anyway.. I know it can be hard to see great ideas that don't get used the way you had hoped.
