GENERAL INFORMATION
Hi, my name is Felix Krisai.
I write, direct, shoot and edit movies.
I do also compose my scores and record them with my Mac & piano.
I make movies since I'm 12 years old and decided later on to found a "production-company" however "Bluebird" is still just a name and there's no official company behind it.
Until now I've done 5 shortfilms:
Room 7 (10min; 2003)
Der Spaziergang in den Tod ("Walk into death"; 17min; 2003)
Der Zeuge ("The Witness"; 27min; 2004):
Screenings (Awards):
"Klappe"-Filmfestival Salzburg/Austria 2004 (none)
Imagination (19min; 2005)
Screenings (Awards):
International Youth Film Festival Tirol/Austria 2006 (3rd Price)
Video&Filmtage Vienna/Austira 2006 (1 Award)
Festival der Nationen Ebensee/Austria ("Diplom"-Award)
Pumelo International Film Festival (none)
My most recent movie I did is Schaffenskrise ( "Writer's Block" ; 17min; 2007)
It's about a guy who tries to write a movie script.
The topic of the movie is inspiration and the long search for it. I chose it because I went throught the same things the main character of my shortfilm is going through, as I was searching for a new idea for a project. The film was shot within 2 main shooting periods that took place in february and april of 2007. We had 12 days of principal photography and did some pick ups a few weeks before the shortfilm was completed.
The project was a hard thing to do for me, because I've done all the main things like directing, writing, shooting, editing, scoring, sceduling the shoot, etc. by myself. The production started in november 2006 and was finished in june 2007 where we held a local premiere two days before my 16th birthday.
I have now submitted it to 41 film festivals all over the world. Countries including USA, India, Korea, Brazil, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and of course Austria
