- TV och film
In this interview, Jon Gustafsson tells the story of filming and releasing his documentary, Wrath of Gods. The film follows Icelandic/Canadian director Sturla Gunnarsson through the production of his ambitious historical adventure story, Beowulf & Grendel. Plagued by tempestuous Icelandic weather and unpredictable financing, the production survives by the skin of its teeth. Hired as an extra on the film, Jon was in prime position to document the struggles of the cast and crew, and especially a stoic and stalwart Gunnarsson, in the face of challenge after challenge. Then, what began as a BTS supplement to Beowulf & Grendel, gained a life of its own as a documentary in its own right in the spirit of Burden of Dreams or Lost in La Mancha. Jon takes us through the journey of making and distributing the film, with insight into the filmmaking process on many levels.
