In Forbidden Ground, after an unsuccessful charge on enemy lines, a group of three men wake up in a bomb crater in the middle of no-man's-land. The film, shot primarily between Sydney and Dubbo, portrays the war zones of France in the First World War. But how did the filmmakers recreate these harsh conditions? "With lots of explosives," the film's Australian writer/director Johan Earl laughs.

Johan Earl, who runs the Australian-based special effects company Armzfx, is now producing and writing a psychological thriller titled, “A Perfect Life”, which, as you may expect when it comes to thrillers, is not about a perfect life. The film follows the life of a Andrew Walters (Earl), and as is the norm for those young (presumably) executive sorts, his marriage isn’t enough, so he starts an affair with one of the women from the office. Which woman? Rachel, the crazy woman. Like most of these kinds of relationships, things turn out ugly. Rachel decides that she’s sick of Walter’s empty promises, and ends up tying him to a lie detector and to some kind of torture device while his wife watches over a TV monitor from the room she is chained up in. From the looks of it, the rest of the movie is spent with...

Swedish-born Johan Earl (pictured) is a man of many talents. Based in Australia, Earl owns and runs his own production company Partisan Pictures, as well as a special effects company Armzfx, responsible for effects featured on Twilight and Gangs of Oz. Earl is also the producer, writer and male lead of a menacing new psychological thriller, A Perfect Life. Directed by British filmmaker Jith Sen, the film positions itself somewhere between James Wan's Saw and Rob Reiner's Misery. Taking place in an unknown American town, Earl (who also starred in the Australian film Gabriel) plays Andrew Walters, a young go-getter in the prime of his life.
