You'll need to have Quicktime, and I strongly recommend that you select the "Beste kvalitet" (best quality) option - it will give you a bigger picture and MUCH better resolution.

The film lasts 5 minutes and 18 seconds, and I'm sorry that it's all in Norwegian. You sort of lose some of the points, but any feedback on my excellent Method acting ( ) would be much appreciated!

What she says in the end is something like:

-"Yeah, hi, this is Eva. I've got this splendid apartment at the westend. Plenty of room for the three of us."

Yeah, I know, it's a lame point (a satirical kick at the tense housing situation[?] in Oslo these days), as is the entire plot of the film, but the main ingredient of the film is really the two male characters: Lasse (me) and Geir (the other one).

The breakfast idea was born from watching the famous breakfast scene in CITIZEN KANE. We also satirize over certain norwegian film "classics" or "turkeys", especially through our dialogue.

I'm afraid there will be no subtitles, but maybe I'll write a step-by-step translation eventually. I suspect the film looks silly without those lines, though.

The recurring theme (turning sour as things get equally sour) is an old Beethoven piece (I cannot remember the title right now), so we could use it without copyright trouble. It was performed by myself!

As for the server, I believe it was down yesterday. I have nothing to do with the media web pages where the film is put up, but I remember not being able to access it myself yesterday, so that must be it. Try it again now. It should work. And once again, I urge EVERYONE to see the film with the "beste kvalitet" option - if your connection can handle it.

Makes no difference. As far as I know, the plugin caches the whole video file on your harddisk before it starts playing it. That's the reason why you can keep the LOTR trailer on your drive, too.

VERY cute!! I laughed out loud a couple times. Good work!

For you guys who don't speak Norwegian: Very good film! It took me about an hour to download it, but it was worth the wait. I liked the way you went bananas because of this girl, Jack Nicholson would be proud indeed! What format was it filmed/edited in? And how long did you spend making it? I also liked the way you guys used the typewriter at the beginning and the end credits.

I love watching low budget stuff like this. It shows you don't need money to be creative, something Hollywood doesn't understand at all. Another summer of blockbusters is here and therefore also the worst movies of the year. But hey, hopefully we'll hear some decent soundtracks along the way.

Meanwhile, let's applaud Thor and all the others who are making stuff worth seeing.

Joe: Glad you liked it. It means a lot, especially coming from you.

Stefan: Now, where "i granskauen" have you been all along? Another Norwegian on this board is very rare (and welcome) indeed. I'm glad to see you here, and I hope we can hear more from you in the future.

Our movie was filmed with regular BETA equipment. We edited the film digitally with a professional program (the title escapes me right now, but it was software worth "hundreds of thousands of kroner" according to our teacher).

The film was part of the practicum here at the university. We had TWO WEEKS(!!) from conceiving the idea to world premiere. A hard run, indeed, further complicated by the fact that the 10 member crew had equal say (except for the two days with actual shooting, where the director had the last word). Pre and post-production were conceived in plenum.

Looking through the film, I recognize its flaws and its "cheapish" look, but it's nice to have been a part of it nevertheless.

I see from your profile that you're a filmmaker too, Stefan. What films have you made?
