* GASP * GOOD LORD! WHAT I HAVE DONE?

MY FILMOGRAPHY & MORE

Hi there! Welcome to my first-ever attempt at writing a "Blog." To get things started, I'd better introduce myself... Where do I begin? There's a lot to tell, so I might as well start with my filmography and other bits like what people are saying about me. This massive list of my achievements is as near to complete as I can remember... It includes not only my films, but also my various acting gigs, interviews and publishing ventures. Entries are sorted by ascending chronological order, divided by category.

Looking at this list, I can't believe how much stuff I've done! Like most creative types, I have a whole hoard of incomplete and unpublished works lying around; unless due to be released soon (marked as *pending, or * in production), these have been left off the list.

Here are quotes from various film magazines and film industry icons:

"Todd Tjersland has a good touch... he has a great sense of humor."
---JERRY FEIFER, Executive Producer of WITCHCRAFT I-XIII

"Todd's writing style is vivid and enthusiastic!"
---THE DARK SIDE (UK)

"[When Todd Tjersland] writes, the action never subsides."
---FATAL VISIONS (Australia)

"[THE NECRO FILES has] a stunning special effects job by Todd Tjersland! Tjersland... has become synonomous with quality, independent films that actually deliver what they promise."
---GUILTY PLEASURES (USA)

"Todd Tjersland... puts his twisted brainpan into overdrive [on THE NECRO FILES]... you've got to admire that type of dedication to one's art."
---SHOCK CINEMA (USA)

"Todd Tjersland is an American Underground God who has contributed to the underground scene and will continue to do so in the future."
---DOOM: DAS PHANTASTIK MAGAZIN (Germany)

"Todd Tjersland [is the] Visionary Overlord of American Horror... if Todd can maintain the high standard he's set for himself, things can only get better!"
---PRISM, the official magazine of THE BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY (UK)
