Most of my friends know what I’ve been doing during the last three months: working with the VFX team on the german movie John Rabe. Sadly, no trailer has been officially released yet so I don’t really have anything to show. But! ‘Majestic Film Verleih’, the company who will bring the movie to german cinemas this year (or so I hope) released 8 official press pictures.

So here you go, a little something to feed your appetite in regards to this movie. 8 pictures!

Well, that’s it. As soon as Majestic releases more pictures and / or a trailer, I’ll post it.

Rape porn in Nanjing?!

// October 19th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // People's Republic of China

Now that YouTube is blocked in China, I’ll try to keep you entertained with my own videos…

Nanjing is a city with a sad history. The japanese killed over 300.000 people here during their invasion, the famous ‘Nanking Massacre’. They also raped around and killed women and children. This makes my video even more confusing: I was in my hotel room in a four-star hotel when I accessed the television. You’d think that I’d get CCTV or HBO or something like that, but no, the first thing I see is a woman getting raped! What the hell? The hotel is trying really hard to sell their pay-per-view porn… See for yourself, just watch my video. Warning: Contains disturbing images and sound.
