Thud





The idea for the film Thud was a joke, Roch and I came up with one sweaty day in the South of France. Now it has blossomed into one elaborate, giant joke. Ideas are sprouting from everywhere. It is incredible that a coherent story has been created just from one silly joke. Of course it is not all original ideas, we are making fun of some genres and taking stuff from others but it is unusual to think that inspiration is on one hand random but at the same time it seems to come from within us. Silly as this little "distraction" might have been, it has really refreshed my desire to make films, the DIY element of making films at least. Anyway, we already have Thud 3 and 4 planned out and they seem to get progressively more ambitous and longer.
