BACKGROUND

THE CAMHEAD CHRONICLES

Camhead started out as “the camhead chronicles”, and in many ways the making of the film and the comic have become chronicles of their own.

The original idea was a monologue before the white screen. Florian, the leader of the punks telling his story, bringing alive the reality of the film and relating his own downfall. Camhead would be shot by Florian on stage. A final scene would then show Maas to be the real murderer of Lotte.

A comic story was to serve as a mystifycation of Camheads personality. Relating the background of this tragic hero character.

Daniel van den Broeke created the story and the short, futuristic cult-film that will see its first screening at the International Filmfestival Rotterdam. Film and comic started to live their own lives during the past two years, just like the security camera that became Camhead. They influenced each other. The results of which you see here.
