A little while ago I got to travel to Norway to shoot a film with an incredibly close friend and Director @samuel_askland_gordon It was one of the most fulfilling short films, especially having had read earlier drafts that Sam developed years ago. With a stellar Norwegian cast and crew fiercely led by Producer Geir Bergersen @filmiac I’m so thankful to have been a part of this and equally excited that the film, ā€˜Myra’ is getting to premiere at the prestigious ā€˜Norwegian International Film Festival’ in Haugesund. Starring the incredible Viktoria Winge and the Levi Sorheim Produced by Geir Bergersen Writer/Director: Samuel Askland Gordon Shoutout to the crew that made it all happen. Steadicam Operator: Knut Aas 1st AC: Marcus Storen Gaffer: Thomas Diseth Key Grip: Michael Mo BBE: Brede Korsmo BBG: Elias Duesund VFX work by Mathias Elefsen and Ben Kadie Production Designer Inger Amundsen Shoutout to 1st AD and all round support, Stian Pignon and to all the cast, crew and extras not listed below.

Shoutout and love to the ā€˜Nani’ Crew especially the Camera, Grip and LX team. Small but powerful. As most DPs, Gaffers and KGs know to their core, ā€˜Naturalism’ lighting can often be a fine balance between doing too much or doing too little. Here’s some BTS and more stills to keep churning this engagement machine. Shoutout to PD @rohini_jadhav for her work turning this apartment into what it looked like on the film ā¤ļø If you scroll to the end you’ll be able to feel just a small phone speaker sample of the incredible work of @rianjalimusic and our sound designers Kevin Khor & Karthik Mohan @khor.sound @kamo_fx Track: ā€˜Matha Ta Fatabo’ by Bhanga Bangla Writer/Director: Mainak Dhar @moinky Producers: Shardul Sharma @shardulssharma , Humaira Newaz @hum.boom Grace Presse @gracestralia EP: Shardul Sharma & Lorraine Guieysse Starring: Bushra Khan @b.khanfident , Sunita Mukhi, Rumela Gangulu, Suhrid Samanta, Nirvan Patnaik @nirv4321 and Justin Alexio Production Designer: Rohini Jadhav & team 1st AD: Gabe Bruskoff and team 1st AC: Denis Kirkman-Moriarty @dkm.dp 2nd AC: Samantha Kelly Gaffer: Patrick Hyatt @patrick_a_hyatt Key Grip: Trevor Wilson Swings: Jad Anderi & Jaydon Morris Colorist: Jack Tashdjian @jacktashdjian

Some more stills, BTS and general love for the incredible Camera/G&E team on @cruelty.film Big night exterior junkyard locations (also with 2 x 270 degree shots) on a budget are always difficult but without the drive and skill level from this team, this film wouldn’t be what it is! I’m a big fan of making big overhead diagrams that I can email ahead or airdrop changes on the fly- I find its the easiest way for me to communicate with other departments. Key Grip @patrick_a_hyatt sent his drone up during the location scout, to get an overhead still that we sent to every department and that @rohini_jadhav , @samdas1219 , 1st AD Jonny Vance and myself could sketch on during pre-production to talk through how to build and design the sets with the cars, and which pieces needed to be moved or brought in and in what order during the two prep days art department had to work with. For most of the night work we rigged two Aputures 1200Ds thru various grid cloths on a 80’ condor with additional 600C lamps off to the sides- that way we could turn on and off a background light to extend our moonlight beyond the area we wanted shaped and could also control it from not being frontal during the long 270 degree shots. This was then supplemented by tall stands and well placed menace arm units scattered through the entire location. A little reliance on SFX smoke tubes did the rest. These are the some of the junkyard night exterior overheads @colegrove666 @patrick_a_hyatt and myself locked down before pre-light.
