Teaser poster for "Prime Time or Feast For Vultures - Sex and Violence on TV!"

Just out of the oven the teaser poster for my new film, a dark comedy and horror. "Horário Nobre ou Banquete Para Urubus - Sexo e Violência na TV!" or "Prime Time or Feast For Vultures - Sex and Violence on TV!"

Soon I intend to launch the online teaser trailer of this film that will be displayed in some movie festivals!

"Family Movie for Daddy, Mommy, the baby, the daughter and the whole family to enjoy!" ;-)

Written and Directed by Dimitri Kozma
Starring: Marcelo Galbetti, Elaine Thrash Oliveira, Rubens Mello, Alejandro Ferraiolo Mangione, Geisla Fernandes, Barbara Manoela Bijos Maués. Produced by Dimitri Kozma, Renata Moura, Fabiana Ferlin e Pamela Jaque.

Debate in the "Cycle of Fantastic Film" after display of a session with Dimitri Kozma's short movies at MIS - Museum of Image and Sound in Campinas, Brazil, on April 6, 2012.

Unfortunately I could not be present, but personally I was thrilled to watch this debate, to hear the passionate opinions about my work and my art.

It's great to know that people understand the proposals and see that we have room to display something different of the "Status Quo". Interestingly, when the work is done with your soul, it finds resonance in other people.

I especially enjoyed the comments about my favorite movie, the surreal "Entre Espelhos e Sombras" (Between Mirrors and Shadows), which breaks the established patterns of a film and led to a so interesting and rich discussion.

I thank you publicly here to Robson Clério, curator of the show, to provides a so rewarding experience.

Thanks also to Geisla Fernandes, major partner of so many projects, the director of "Necrochorume," our youngest son, who was first introduced in the MIS exhibition.

Unfortunately the video debate is only on Portuguese language, so, if you don't understand, let's hope for a subtitled version in the future.

The Elderly Loneliness and the Cinema - Painting by Dimitri Kozma

This is a digital painting for a documentary called "A Solidão e o Cinema na Terceira Idade", somenthing like "The Loneliness and the cinema in the elderly". Shows a empty theater with only one person at the audience, a old man watching a lonely beach scene at a movie.

It's a iconic image to represent the theme of the documentary and I like it a lot. All digital made painting based and created over real pictures assembly.

Kazuo Ohno - Painting

This painting was made as a concept for a project. I created based on japanese actor Kazuo Ohno. All digital made on ArtRage software.

Necrochorume - Horror Short Movie Teaser Trailer

This is the first teaser trailer for our new film, "Necrochorume". Zombies that arise due to environmental disasters. Watch here. Hope you enjoy!

Based on a true research on an environmental problem recurring in some cemeteries from Brazil, came the "Necrochorume", short film that bears the name of the liquid from the decomposition of bodies, which through the underground water table, began to mix to the water intended for human consumption.

The necrochorume through the water, carries the inactivated virus from the dead to the living healthy body, where they become active. In fiction, we work with the first virus that causes a generalized infection, bringing pain fulminating consequent "death" and subsequent zombification of the infected organism.

The transformation is rapid and short focuses on the point of view of a young redneck that is taken by surprise in a family lunch, which takes his girlfriend to be presented. During the brief narrative, Zeca face the dilemma: hunger versus love.

The key point of the film is to show the danger that bureaucracy and lack of care in the cemeteries can bring to the population, within a narrative fantasy of black humor, in which the consumption of contaminated water turns citizens into zombies, causing a growing epidemic, the interior of Brazil for the rest of the world.

Watch the teaser trailer in portuguese.

Bananas Podres - Animation Trailer for a Brazilian Book

This is a new animation work created by me. It's a trailer for a Brazilian book called "Bananas Podres" (Rotten Bananas) created by writer Teodoro Balaven. It's in Portuguese, but you can appreciate the images.

If you want read the book online for free, you can visit the author website here. It's only in Portuguese.

Sexy Woman in Underwear - Painting by Dimitri Kozma

This is a new painting made all digital on Art Rage Studio and using a Wacom tablet. It's a concept art with a sexy girl in underwear.

I was thinking in create some cool outfits, but the girl with plain white underwear is so nice looking and I decided quit this stupid idea to put more clothes on her. :-)

Blues Guy

This is my new character created for a coming soon animation. His name is Blues Guy and I love his personality. First a created the draft by hand on paper and created the guy on digital vector graphics.

My animation "Constellation" has been Pirated

I don't know if I get angry or happy, because one of my animation work has just been pirated by a guy who stole my entire animation and put his own music on it, re-editing to fit the time of his music and of course remove all the credits.

Who told me this was a YouTube user, probably a fan of my work, immediately when he saw the robbery, tried to warn me:

Hi,
I'd like to let you know there's someone using your animation CONSTELLATION with no credits and no telling the source either.
His name: William Corbo
His channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tinocorbo
Your animation on his channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu14S6fiH7M
Regards,

The thief's name is William Corbo and the song's name is "Memories." If only he had consulted me, I don't know if I would authorize, but could talk about creating a video for him, perhaps at a low cost.

For those who don't know, here's the link to my original animation, made for the Spanish band called Metropol.



I don't know how long the video will stay in the air, because I already made a claim on YouTube about Copyright Infringement Notification, but the link below will show his "work".



If the pirate video has offline, here's a screenshot for posterity.

As I said, I can not stop to feeling a little proud to have a pirated work, is a sign that people are enjoying it. I am even happier because I received an email from a person who I don't know denouncing the case.

The day I see my films being sold at illegal pirate sellers on streets, then I will be impossible. :-)

UPDATED:
The Youtube staff was quick. On the same day I received an email telling: "Thank you very much for your notification. The content has been removed."

As some readers of my art blog knows, I am member of an Brazilian independent film production company called "Corte Seco" (something like "Dry Cutting", in English), with some friends.

Meanwhile, stay with the first teaser poster...

Soon "Corte Seco" will be back with much more thirst for blood in a movie for the whole family fun ...
