“Kontakt” won price at filmfestival
Posted on November 21, 2009
”Kontakt” was awarded a golden frame and won the price for the best amateur film on “Amatørfilmfestivalen” in Norway. Over 30 films were sent to this filmfestival which was held 6-7 nov. This is the first time “Kontakt” has won a price, and I’m very pleased to get this award. It’s really motivating to see that people like my work. I want to thank all my friends that came to the festival to see my film and participate in the ceremony were I was given the trophy.
“All for Norway” was awarded a bronze frame on this festival, and was also shown for the audience.

Komplett.no TV-commercial
Posted on November 2, 2009
I’m currently participating in a contest for a netshop called Komplett (komplett.no). They are the leading netshop company in Norway, selling electronic devices over the internet. The contest is based on making the best TV-commercial for Komplett. There were no restrictions to the content of the video, but it couldn’t last more then 45 seconds.
I shot the TV-commercial with Canon XH A1 and SgPro. I didn’t have any film-lights, so I just used some working-lamps I found in my garage.
I want to thank the lovely café “HIMMEL-blaa” at Vettre, and the manager of the café Lindy Skjellestad Wettre for borrowing your barn, and for your delicious cakes!

Working with other aspects of a film production
Posted on November 2, 2009
My dream is to become a Film director, and direct feature films for the cinema. But to become a Film director, you should also try to work with other aspects of a film production. In addition to all the films I’ve directed, I’ve worked with other film projects. The past years I’ve worked mostly as Director of Photography and Steadycam operator in other films but I’ve also worked as Key grip, Assistent camera, Production manager and Actor.
It’s much easier to be a Film director when you have worked with other parts of a film than just directing, because you will understand more of the opportunities you have when making films. It’s important to understand how the film lights works, how the Sound technicians are working, what the Assistent camera is doing and so on.
