Dear Jörg,

I've been a fan of yours since I was 15 and discovered your films in a video store near where my grandma used to live. I'd already been a lover of horror film and comics for a long time by then but your films opened up a whole new world of cinema art in horror to my mind and your work has continued to be a big inspiration to me amongst the likes of Argento and Barker.
I would like to send you the digital copies of some of the comics I've had published, in particular one where a Nekromantik DVD is on the table beside a sleeping character.  -Lee

Greetings, that are important

In the earthly language... It's possible, I'm your fan..... but in my language..... thank you for your love sacrificed to the King.... or the Queen in other cultures....  Thank you for the Beauty... for the Passion.... for different life.

I enjoyed the Captain Berlin DVD a lot.

1st US-DVD edition

I was wondering if you ever did a limited signed edition of Nekromantik? I bought one from someone that was supposedly signed by you and is hand numbered 121 out of 500. seems legitimate enough to me. just want to find out if I got ripped off. Thanks again.
- Jon

Dear Jon,

yes, your DVD is the real thing. It is the first run of the US-DVD edition from Barrel Entertainment from the year 2000. This DVD is out of print by now.

In appreciation

I suppose that this is atypical, but I'm compelled to write to you in saying what you all ready may know ever since I finished reading Sex Murder Art. Your films have been a massive inspiration to me, I do not have a favorite, as all of them rank equally. No other filmmaker has the same affect on me. The first Nekromantik further inspired me to create great films. The second film further inspired me, and I find it to be your most powerful and the definitive film on that subject matter. Todesking is such a meditative picture. Over the years it's influence grows. Etc and etc with my praise. I have recently shot a short with similar subject matter (it's not a plotless gore film I assure) I'd love to show it to you. - Godspeed

I must...

... say that your movies are one of the best films I have ever seen. They are up there whith Ingmar Bergmans movies and Andrei Tarkovski. - Zaruk

 

German Kaiju DVDs

I have enejoyed listening to your commentaries on various German Kai-Ju DVDs. It's reallyl too bad that as an Amerikaner I can't seem to get all of them. My "U4000" was 40 Euro (!). Mensch ist das teuer.
You should know that it makes me more likely to purchase them when I know that you have a commentary attached, and presumably you get "ein paar Euros" when they are sold. Perhaps you could give a listing of those DVDs that you are featured in. I certainly don't see it on your web page. - Steve, Crappy Japanese Film Enthusiast

Dear Steve,
until now I made German audiocommentaries for these kaiju-classic DVDs: ATRAGON, LATITUDE ZERO, SON OF GODZILLA and FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD. There is more to come later this year from Anolis Entertainment.

Tattoo question

I'm wanting to get the cover art from Nekromantik on my thigh but I didn't want to make a mistake of getting it done and being in violation of any copyrighted laws. I work in a shop and I know that some people do get slapped with lawsuits from time to time. I didn't wasn't to end up sending you off a picture of the finished product and then turn around and be in legal trouble, lol. I thought I'd ask first. - Asherz

It may not be a good idea to put the Nekro-art on your body. I have no objections. But it will possibly ruin your life. Have a look here. But if you really do it I wanna see a picture! - JB

Lol, well it wasn't just a decision I made one day because it looks cool. As a child, I didn't like Disney. A favorite of mine has always been Nekromantik. Plus, Nekromantik pushes the limits by far and there is only one othe film that I have found where the topic centers mostly on necrophilia and a love for death. It's a bit of a symbol for me of the whole "pushing the limits" thing. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you grasp the whole concept of just what type of films you've created and if you're aware of the uproar it has arisen in some people. I couldn't help but smiling at myself in the mirror on a daily knowing that I've put a little bit of an impact on the cultural world. - Asherz

hello, Jörg

Peter Synthetik is real man or it's a mark reeder or even you? - san ya

Answer: Peter is a real man. That`s for sure. But Synthetik is not his real name. -JB

Cool Shirt!

Fangroup on Facebook

Greetings Jörg. My name is Johan and I am living in Stockholm, Sweden. I just want to let you know that I have started a fangroup in your honour on facebook. It has almost 500 members by now. And I try to update it as often as I can.  I only considered that you maybe would find it interesting to know.  I must say I am a huge fan of all your works myself, and your films where a really big inspiration for me as a child. Your films among others help me through My depurations (??). And I still enjoy so re-watch them time to time. I am Looking forward to any new project you may work on now. And I really loved "Captain Berlin versus Hitler", I got may hands on the dogtag edition, and it has it very own shelf in one of my display cases now. Happy new diced, greatens from Sweden - Johan M

The new site is lovely.

I have enjoyed all you films for a very long time now. The early super8 films are great. I loved the "Captain Berlin Versus Hitler" film. I hope more is to come in the future. - Joewl Levis
