Johannes Kizler: born in 1983 near Stuttgart/Germany. Johannes started making movies with his older brother and their father’s Super 8 camera at the early age of 3 years. A lot of „Italo- Western“ and experimental videos followed over the years. After graduating, he started an apprenticeship as a photographer, working as a freelance photographer for two years afterwards. On the side he kept making short films and music videos and realized that his passion for directing was stronger than for photography. He thereafter got accepted by the the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Ludwigsburg in 2009 to study directing for commercials. About "Can't take my eyes off you": "Can’t take my eyes off you“ is an 11 minute horror short film, shot in one continuous take. The difficulty part was, to actually shoot it in one go without cutting and hiding edits in post production. The story runs in realtime. Camera and actors move in a predetermined choreography through the house. We establish a key suspense moment right at the beginning, which dominates the whole movie and hangs over the conflict between mother and daughter like a sword of damocles. Supported by sounds, music and a changing lighting scenarios, we slowly but surely create a more and more oppressive and surreal atmosphere. The continually moving, hovering camera switches back and forth from being an external, objective perspective to becoming the POV of the threat itself with it clearly taking on this state at the end of the movie.
Thanks for the support!
