Damien Rice and Amy Kuney in Reykjavik

Posted in Fame, Music by Jon Gustafsson on July 25, 2008

I love surprises. Last night I had two. First of all Damien Rice is entertaining as hell and secondly, a girl from LA called Amy Kuney came out of the blue and impressed a Nasa full of Icelanders. Great voice and great songs. I looked her up on MySpace and she seemed to have mostly done cover songs and posted them on YouTube but there seems to be a CD coming out. She looks young but her voice sounds older. Somebody obviously brought a video camera to the concert and posted this on YouTube (not me).

Horses, mares and foals

Posted in Iceland by Jon Gustafsson on July 17, 2008

This time of year I don’t want to be anywhere other than in Iceland. I feel sorry for those of you who have to tolerate the heat and humidity of New York and Toronto, or the scorching heat of New Mexico and California… (you know who you are). Just to torture you I have to post these pictures I took last week. A friend of mine needed pictures of his new foals. Here you go:

It took a while till the mares trusted me. They are very protective of the young ones.

Location scouting

Posted in Filmmaking, Iceland by Jon Gustafsson on July 8, 2008

Location scouting on the edge of Reykjavik at midnight. Love those white nights. The hope is that we’ll be able to make a short film here in the fall.

Location scouting in down-town Reykjavik

Posted in Filmmaking, Iceland by Jon Gustafsson on July 5, 2008

It’s not until you look sideways, till you turn of the main street and into the back alleys that you see the real city. There is a feature film to be made here and we found the perfect location for it, Shadowville, down-town Reykjavik.
