FROSTBITE (FROSTBITEN) has domestic release February 24th, 2006. The film will have its world premiere at the Gothenburg International Film Festival, and its international market premiere at European Film Market, Berlin. Producers Göran Lindström (AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, Academy Award Nominated 2005 Best Foreign Language Film) and Magnus Paulsson (JOHN HOWE - THERE AND BACK AGAIN) wanted to make a modern, high value vampire movie for a theatrical audience, something that has not been seen in Sweden before.

Magnus Paulsson is also well-known as the driven founder of Fantastisk Film Festival, the only festival in Scandinavia dedicated to fantasy-, horror-, and sci fi films, and a part of the largest network for fantastic film festivals; European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation (EFFFF). “Having been involved in horror films for so many years, we have a profound respect for this genre, and we really wanted to make a film that could give the wide following we know this genre has, a chance to see a film like this in theatres. We also wanted to make sure that the film had a solid budget and that nothing was compromised regarding the quality of special effects, and we are very happy with the result. We want to prove that it is possible to make this kind of film in Scandinavia”, said Magnus Paulsson.
