Bob Moog (1934-2005) shaped musical culture with some of the most inspiring electronic instruments ever created. This "compelling documentary portrait of a provocative, thoughtful and deeply sympathetic figure" (New York Times) peeks into the inventor's mind and the worldwide phenomenon he fomented.

Written & Directed by Hans Fjellestad
| dvd available soon | read reviews | official site | play trailer |

This feature documentary explores the strangely inventive city of Tijuana, Mexico. A city that has more in common with science fiction novels than history books about Mexico. Filmmaker Magazine calls the film a "fresh, quick-paced, smartly edited doc that boasts an innovative score" and Resonance dubs it one of the "latest and greatest in documentary filmmaking." (distributed by Third World Newsreel)

Disco isn't dead. It's gone to war. Find out what "interro-tunes" are on the military's playlist as this documentary feature takes a hard look at the deployment of music as a weapon and instrument of torture.

LORDS OF CHAOS [in development]
Screenplay by Hans Fjellestad, Ryan Page & Adam Parfrey

Set inside the notorious Norwegian Black Metal music scene of the early 1990s (and based on true events) this narrative feature follows a group of dedicated musicians and their charismatic figureheads - Count Grishnackh and Euronymous - as art transforms into brutal violence in the streets of Northern Europe. Amid escalating murder and mayhem, this is the story of the rise and fall of two self-appointed Kings of Rock, with the heart of a Sam Peckinpah western.

QUITTING MILES [in development]
Written by Hans Fjellestad

Through a combination of dreams, hallucinations and broken conversations, it is immediately apparent that Sonny Madsen is having mental problems. With the ghost of Miles Davis as his companion, Sonny gets on the road to Reno where he meets a mermaid.

TRICK FARM [in development]
Screenplay by Hans Fjellestad & Ryan Page

Hope is a brilliant young chemist who doesn't play well with others. Enter her dark world where occultists, a giant green Locust Lady, eager psychotherapists, pharmaceutical peddlers, a decomposing lamb creature, trichotillomania, contaminated Italian wine and an Aztec warrior princess all come together in a disturbing story about a poisoner on a mission from... god (sort of).
