DEBUTEN

Femte Hjulet debuterar: DEBUTEN.

DEBUTEN är en kommande långfilm av Det Femte Hjulet om konst, ambition och ego. En mörk och skruvad komedi om hur fel det kan bli när man verkligen är beredd att göra ALLT för konsten.

Det Femte Hjulet är ett filmkollektiv i Malmö med fokus på humor, genre och lustfyllt skapande. Genom improvisation och spontanitet vill vi sänka tröskeln till att göra film och hitta sätt att behålla lekfullheten genom hela processen.

Projektet är färdiginspelat och befinner sig nu i efterproduktion. Vi söker strategiska samarbeten inom postproduktion och distribution inför filmens färdigställande och lansering.

Producent: Hedvig Lannsjö, Max Shore, David Digman & Filip Johnsson

Regi: Max Shore & David Digman

Manus: Max Shore, David Digman & Filip Johnsson

Horror Short Film

On the day she’s meant to return to work, Ida never shows up. What feels at first like anxiety quickly spirals into something darker.

This film was inspired by our fast-paced, competitive, and highly digital world, where we are constantly overwhelmed by sensory overload and unattainable expectations.


Instead of relying on the traditional imagery of evil emerging from the forest, symbolizing the old world, we looked to the city—a representation of modern life, where cracks in its foundation create spaces for evil to prey on us at our most vulnerable.

BRYTPUNKTEN
Narrative

The year is 2030 and the U.N's climate deadline approaches. A young couple leaves the city for the countryside to start a new life, aiming to be self-sustaining. They are peacefully excited about their future together – until the world outside their bubble intrudes when the conversation about having children arises.

A Certain Future (Orig. title Brytpunkten) is a short film created and produced by Futency Studios.

"I wanted the film to express the worry and frustration that I and many in my generation feel when thinking about our future — grappling with the hand we’ve been dealt.”

– Max Shore, director, screenwriter, and editor.

Rewards and recognitions:

A Certain Future was chosen by the committee to open and introduce the 2023 European Film Festival of Lille.

In May 2023, it won best script at Pixel Skånes film festival.

About

For the past 10 years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients across industries—delivering everything from branded content to campaign films, always with a focus on clear and meaningful storytelling.

Alongside my commissioned work, I’ve written and directed a number of award-winning short films. I’m drawn to genre for its familiar frameworks and shared expectations, but I’m just as interested in finding ways to subvert or stretch those expectations. It’s the perfect way to hide something unexpected inside something familiar.

I now run my own business, offering creative services in directing, editing and script development for both commercial clients and artistic collaborations. I’m also part of Det Femte Hjulet, a comedy film collective currently producing our first feature film.
