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.
