Director's Word

What makes a thrilling action movie?

For me, it’s the combination of visually stunning fast-paced action in perfect balance with emotional drama and nail-biting suspense.

Pure excitement!
Pure entertainment!

We take audiences for a roller-coaster ride that isn’t just an adrenaline rush, but makes them care about the characters and what happens to them... because, that’s what makes the perfect action movie!

HEADS WILL ROLL is that kind of a movie.

A fast-paced, heartfelt, suspenseful story packed with brilliant action... I love action cinema and I have always wanted to make a movie like this!

This movie will blend beautiful locations against brutal action in a thrilling and entertaining way. Every kick and punch will look like it hurts, every emotion conveyed, and every chase breath-taking!

The exotic locations of Kuala Lumpur are to be displayed with epic drone shots and the action scenes are to be filled with stylistic, energetic and clever long steadicam/handheld shots and shallow focus close-ups to highlight the deep emotions of the characters. Bold low/high angle shots and fast tracking shots will also add to the cinematic quality.
In the dialogue scenes, classic frame-in-frame composition with shallow focus close-ups will add depth. Anamorphic lenses will make sure that the tension holds while warm and cool color lighting enhances the shots to their finest, topped by a musical score understated to not distract, but explosive during the final showdown to get pulses racing even faster.

THIS WILL BE EPIC!

Wait... if you want to push Finnish content, why's your first film in Malaysia?

Thank you for mentioning it!

It's called, business strategy.

At the moment, Finnish content is aimed, primarily, at Finns, and anyone else who watches it, is a bonus.

We want more than that.

Our ambition is to make Finnish culture and Finnish content as desired after as Korean!  Asian cinema on the whole proved that "foreign language" content can travel; Korean content proved that it can be in huge demand!

The problem with Finnish content being aimed mainly at Finns, is that it's only really the adventurous viewer who discovers any of it.  We've tailored our debut production to appeal to both Asian and western viewers... that's the whole western world, not just a portion of Scandinavia!

By setting the film in Malaysia, with a Malaysian male lead and a Finnish female lead, we automatically open up interest in two countries; with the South-East Asian region always keen to check out content from its neighbours, we suddenly expand interest even more.  Due to anything action-orientated from that area being snapped up by major online streamers, we have the very real possibility of attracting worldwide sales potential... and that's before the film makes the huge splash with audiences we anticipate it will.

We're expecting, Heads Will Roll, to be one of, if not the single biggest ever performing film made by a Finnish production company... now that is how to grab the world's attention.
