First Reactions to my Forbidden Film
The Innovative Camera Style Movie: "Hollywood Fling" by Raoul Sternberg
It’s a story about girls. They check in to Hollywood, but they never check out. It’s the story about a serial killer.
Shot with the Flip Ultra HD Camera. This is the first full length feature film shot with this new camera system.
The camera is the serial killer. The camera hunts the girls. The camera has sex with them. The camera kills them.
Germany’s renowned movie critic Hans Schifferle (“Süddeutsche Zeitung”) says about “Hollywood Fling”:
“It´s the first real camera style movie. The camera writes the story. A masterpiece.”
Norman Klein, Professor at the California Institute of the Arts and at UCLA writes about “Hollywood Fling”:
“A serial killer’s seeing machine: Through the eye of a small digital camera, we observe his sensual, indulgent, perverse journey. He is watching twenty-year old girls, begins to seduce them, than suffocates them. Here is the way to imagine a new poetic, a new film grammar.
What I see more clearly is the apparatus itself, a camera so intuitive that it seems to be part of the clothing worn by the killer. Today, the computer has embedded itself into architectural space, and into every simple act of intimacy. It invades our private secrets like a household pet watching us have sex. It helps us watch ourselves, as if we were visiting our body along with the cat. That sense of apparatus give this film a unique sense of risk-- not because it plays with a familiar plot; but because it turns one character literally into a "seeing machine." The computer eye literally commits murder, with speeches from the Frankenstein monster; but also like a chicken crossing the road.
This is also a film about the anxiety of dissolution, in the midst of a vast economic change, a future that promises very little for Americans. The murderer becomes a digital apparatus, like the mind in entropy. But entropy is always a form of decay.”

My Forbidden Film - "Hollywood Fling"
Hollywood Fling
You will find the trailers on YouTube but we cannot show it here.
"This film breaks all rules and barriers. Filmed entirely on a flip camera in Ultra HD, the results are a story about girls and a serial killer. Explicit and erotic. Set in Hollywood, musical score by local artists. The result so extreme that it will never be broadcast on television or distributed in cinemas. This film is a breakthrough in independent filmmaking!"
