Sundance & GIFF! 🔥 SAUNA SICKNESS, the short film I was hired as Script Consultant on, has been selected to premiere at the
#SundanceFilmFestival and is now also an official selection of the Swedish international Gothenburg Film festival. Congrats to the team! 🥳 Written and directed by the amazing @malinbarr , with a fantastic cast and crew. 🎬 It’s a psychological drama with dark-comedy elements — a 15-minute fever-dream rollercoaster, with a story of self-preservation at its core.
Never thought I’d hold May and Cody IRL from "It Takes Two" - but here they are! These are the characters I co-developed with @joseffares and the @hazelightgames team as Lead Writer. I also just learned that in China, there are gaming cafés where couples come to play "It Takes Two" together. 😍 The love for our game keeps growing, and as a co-op (two-player) game, it has now been played by 46 million gamers worldwide! 😮
If you're a fan of "It Takes Two" check out Hazelight's new mind-blowing co-op game, "Split Fiction"! ⚡🎮 #ittakestwogame #splitfiction #gaming #gamersofinstagram
The world’s first red carpet premiere of a game! @joseffares presenting Hazelight studio's mind-blowing new Split Fiction.⚡ The story wasn’t written by me this time but mainly by Sebastian Antonios Johansson and Josef Fares. Split Fiction follows two fiction writers who get stuck together in their own stories, jumping between ever-changing fantasy and sci-fi worlds.
We got to experience a condensed MOVIE VERSION packed with jaw-dropping action, stunning fantastical worlds, and Hazelight’s signature kick-ass gameplay – all on the big screen. FREAKIN' AMAZING! 😮🤩🥳
Congrats and much love to my former colleagues and the entire team! 😍
Steam Deck verified just in time for launch on March 6th. 🚀🎮 #gaming #hazelightstudios #electronicarts #splitfictiongame #ittakestwogame #coopgames
Game writing is the new black! 😎 50 percent of the large audience came from the film and TV industry! ⚡ Thrilled to be invited by @european_writers_club and Den Danske Filmskolen to speak at this event. I shared how I utilized my screenwriting approach for film and TV as the lead writer on the game, "It Takes Two” - alongside the brilliant Jim Ashilevi (of the groundbreaking “Disco Elysium”) and the visionary pioneer Camilla Lyngbo Wolden-Ræthinge. 🎮 🔥 #gaming #ittakestwogame #screenwriting #gamewriting
As the lead writer of "It Takes Two", this is the largest audience I’ve reached so far: With over 20 million units, our indie co-op (two-player game) has been played globally by over 40 million gamers - more than some big-budget AAA games. 🎮 What I’m even more grateful for, though, is that fans still reach out to me, sharing how much they love the game and how deeply MOVED they were by the story, characters and their arcs. That’s what I, as a writer, strive for: to touch people EMOTIONALLY. Thank you beautiful fans, for touching my ❤️ and soul! 😭😍🙏 #ItTakesTwoGame #storytelling #EmotionalImpact
Crazy fun to have ACTION FIGURES made from characters @joseffares and I once began developing in our imagination.🤓 Biggest credit to the heroes at @hazelightgames Art department.🎨⌨️ They patiently revised and developed every detail until we all felt Cody and May expressed who they are from the inside out. To be released later this year popmart. 🔥💫😍 #ittakestwogame
Över 50 000 unika lyssnare 😮 har hittills lyssnat på intervjun om när jag skrev en action/adventure långfilm för Hollywood-producenter och pratar om skillnaden att jobba i Sverige kontra USA, samt hur man utvecklar starkare manus. Tack alla lyssnare! 😍❤️ Intervju på svenska av fantastiske @simonkolle . @filmbranschpodden rekommenderas för alla med intresse för film och TV-serier. 🎥
WILL AI SOON REPLACE SCREENWRITERS? 🧐 Here's to everyone who fears it's true: As a writer, I know what it takes to write a compelling script: Apart from the complex craft it's the life experience, empathy and all those human qualities that AI lack that are needed to write a great script. 🔥 If you still believe more in AI, I asked AI to explain it to you. 😁🤩😍 #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwriter #scriptwriter #script #storytelling #writersofinstagram #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwritingtips #ai #aicreation #aicreativity
The character and story driven action/adventure game I wrote as a head writer, in collaboration with the game director Josef Fares, has been played by over 30 million fans. 😮🤩🥳 I still receive messages from fans on how much they love it and even how it helped them in different ways. 😭❤️ Gamers are the most passionate audience. 😍 I love you all! ❤️🩷💜 #ittakestwogame #hazelightstudios #eagames #gaming #gamer #gamers #gamerlife #gamersofinstagram #writerlife #screenwritersofinstagram #indiegame
