About Joel Burman
I’m an aspiring film producer currently freelancing for other companies. I have experience on features, commercials and music videos working mainly as production or location manager. I have held castings (adults and kids) and worked as a dramaturgist for shorts and features. Besides that, I am currently developing a couple of projects of my own.
If you have an idea for a movie or a screenplay that you’d like feedback on feel free to email me joelburman[a]yahoo.se. If its a feature script I’d appreciate if you include a short synopsis. I will try to get back to you within a fortnight.
To check out some of my credits please visit my IMDB Profile Page or The SFI Database. I have included a pdf version of my resume for downloading.

Do you live in Sweden, Joel? I must tell you Bergman is a my all-time favorite filmmaker (my blog is named after his autobiography, for Christ's sake). I truly want to visit very soon. Good luck with the jobs…if I had one lined up for me there in the industry, I'd join you!
Yes I am Swedish. Glad you like Bergman, I am not his biggest fan I actually think that his presence have had a bad influence for our domestic market for decades.
Still he has made several really good films that can't be said enough. If you want to discover other Swedish directors I recommend Bo Widerberg who is great an really underrated.
I'm sorry…you say Swedish so everyone must always come out with Bergman…how lame of me. But i am serious…he is my favorite filmmaker. Bo Widenberg? Any 2-3 films you can recommend for me – I'll make sure to put in my Netflix queue asap!
I am used to it. I guess all of us Swedes should be really proud of him!
Bo on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0927090/
His best films are two police thrillers: Man on the Roof (1976) and Man from Mallorca (1984) I actually think the first one might be available on blockbuster in big towns (remember I tipped of my english comp teacher about that one when I studied in Topeka, KS and she found it there).
Unfortunately with Bo he isin't considered as a Bergman an therefore a lot of his movies aren't released in the US but two of them is I believe "Elvira Madigan" beautiful and poetic (think Barry Lyndon) and "All things fair" (his last feature that got nominated for the foreign Academy Award. This are not masterpieces like the police films but Ok startingpoints to discover him.
PS – if you want to link our sites up on our blogrolls, just let me know!
Why not! I have added you…
thanks, Joel. Got you on my blogroll now too!
Jag ser på din Imdb-sida att du var med och gjorde de två senaste Beck-filmerna. Ville bara säga att jag älskar Beck-serien och har alla filmer med titelkaraktären på DVD.
Får jag fråga vad det var du gjorde i den produktionen? Jag ser att det står b.l.a "production assistant" men jag vet inte riktigt vad det innebär. 
Kul att du gillar Beck, tycker själv att de kan vara lite ojämna emellanåt.
Prod. ass jobbet var främst på 1st Unit under den stora biljakten. Då var jag en utav ett stort antal personer som jobbade som avspärrningsvakter för att ingen skulle komma innanför där bilarna kom körandes.
Sen jobbade på 2nd unit avdelningen ganska mycket som är ett litet mindre team som är ute och fotar mycket övergångsbilder och inklippsbilder. Där var jag mer av en slags regiassistent och platschef.
Tänkte bara förvarna lite…
Imorgon kommer den utlovade Indy-bloggen.
Piiieeeuuuhhhw.
I'll send you a short script I'm working on xD once I get to finish it. LOL Also, you should probably turn off or disable comments on your pages. xD
I'd love to read it. Yes you are right. I actually thought I turned them off on this page.
