About

 * I’ve always been fascinated by Frankenstein. When I was a kid my mother told me about this monster with his square head and it totally freaked me out.  The square shape didn’t sound logical to me, so it was really scary.  My imagination took it over and started to invent cubistic monsters, which later became Transers, and then became biomechanical monsters like the ones in FA.  Transers are my own industrial monsters I invented as a teenager.  I used to dress like them and take photos. Then when I asked myself what I wanted to make a movie about, I came up with the answer, “about an army of Frankensteins.”  So that was it!  Because I also had a deep fascination for the second world war, I thought it might be a cool idea to combine those together.  My first reaction was, “Wait a minute, you can’t combine those – it’s insane!”  But that’s exactly why I thought it would be a pretty good idea – because it was insane!
