Karl & Bernie

About Me

Karl & Bernie are at the center of a unique long-term filmmaking project-- a series of short films (eventually to be combined into a feature) entitled "The Adventures of Karl & Bernie". A collaboration between FILMS ON CONSIGNMENT, FIFTH COLUMN FILMS, and SPECIAL PRODUCTIONS, shot on the streets of New York City, these micro-budgeted, digital video short films feature Karl and Bernie, two regular guys who talk a lot but don’t do a helluva lot. Each of the Karl & Bernie shorts are shot in 1 to 2 days, with intimate casts and small crews (usually 2 to 3 people). The emphasis is on naturalistic acting and fast-paced, witty dialogue, combined with a Generation DIY aesthetic.This Myspace will feature not only the completed shorts, but also photos, blog entries, behind-the-scenes video, and more.

Plugging away....

So we're still at work on the last short, "KARL & BERNIE AND THE TATTOOS". We've been kind of putting it together piecemeal, as we've had the usual (and by now expected) troubles with last-minute cast...
