DIRECTORS COMMENT

 

"This is a script I wrote based on a story a friend told me.  I wrote it as fiction.  «Summermorning" became part of a long- playing film shown in cinema with three other short films - all made by women. It was called ‘Syndig Sommer’.

 

It was also shown as a pre-film for the screening of, “Leaving Las Vegas” with Nicholas Cage.  The photographer, Gaute Gunnari, and I had a blast making the storyboard.  The rest of the film was just as enjoyable, and it became one of the few films I have made that the short film festival in Grimstad played - which was so nice:-)  In a festival in France, they did not understand the concept of the film because, to them, the film seemed to take place during the day.  I forgot that it is only in the northern countries that we have the understanding of midnight sun.

I loved doing a fiction.  But the freedom in making documentaries attracted me more."
