When I randomly one day in October had the urge to create something, I texted
@emilwenneberg and turned out he had the same urge. Then one-two weeks later, we found ourselves in the basement of Stengade with actor
@anders_khayat and sound technician
@jonskadhauge - whom we had just met a couple of days before.
When directing, you carry some kind of responsibility to make sure that the project turns out as promised. For this, I was pretty clear about “no expectations” for any type of outcome. We experimented, improvised, and played around. What we then found was that we actually liked what we shot so much that the experimentation kept going into the edit, and then grade, and then the scoring, and then sound… and then the screening we had yesterday.
Starting in commercial filmmaking, I never really shared any of my work physically - a billboard or client screening here and there, but never really saw reactions in that sense. This was interesting to me; it felt like the right way to set this project free.
Thanks to
@oliverpetri_ and
@norrebrew for believing and helping us with beers and Maté Maté for the Night! Also, thanks to Daniel and
@spillestedetstengade for letting us play around and yell swear words into your mirror in the basement. And also to my lovely office-roommates from
@nabonabo.cph for helping out!
From a project we had no expectations about, this was pretty fun!
