Man that shit was crazy.  A great premiere party! Thanks for all who attended! The films were a hit and... well... maybe some pics would be in order :) 



introducing the evening... we got the audience to pick the order of the films....

....to spice things up, one envelope contained 'The Smurfs' DVD

and the first film is .... thankfully not The Smurfs... Ok ok .. we rigged it... 

after the films... introducing the cast 

more of the same

Cast members seeming quite happy. Clearly no-one's told them they're not getting paid... 

more slavery being rewarded with a DVD of films they've already seen and a rolled up poster...

introducing the most handsome man in Norway... not that he would have any of it

and every band needs a lead singer ... Hello Raya

Pete Rycroft - who did such a great job on the score for the 
Democracy film flew in from London for the party - 
I'm not sure who was happier about that. Awesome.  

so we took a bow and .... waaaahhhhhhh!!!! 

Ida Moen, and Charlie... When not being the masters of costume and make up.... 
they are part of the TOO MANY GIRLS DJ crew


More of my stunning cast .... 

yet more... 

and then it all hit off

yeah this was fun...










How awesome is this picture? :) 

Raya, dancing in character as the demonic 'Karen'.... 




Just fucking awesome. 

And the films weren't bad either.... 
and all that remains for us to say is....

Dubbin' 


yes ... that's a cast member in a cast! He felt like a bit of a member too.... poor Harald.... ;( 

Close observers will notice that none other than Chuck Norris is our sound recordist / mixer. 

Amazingly, Jørn (right) had come straight from a stage performance at Dansens Hus - so 20 mins before I threw him in the sound booth with hop-a-long -  to say a total of 5 words -  he had been bowing to a standing ovation in a packed theatre. What a sport. 


Harald and Jørn make it happen.
oops! top secret material on screen blurred out ... ;)
so what do these incredibly poor quality photo's mean? They mean we are getting ever closer to having this film in the digital can.

It's absolutely fantastic, btw.

For anyone out there who is wondering ...


A Short Film on Democracy ... is in the sound mix... and we are having to dub over some lines... so we'll not be finished by the end of this week... in fact it'll probably be another 2 weeks... as we have to co-ordinate the actors and the dubbing process

Hey... the best things come to those who wait, yeah?
;)

In other news, the Conformity film played in Germany last saturday .. sadly I couldn't attend as I was performing 'Jimmy Polaris' with Christopher Nielsen and the band Masselys. It's the third time we've done that now and it's always fun. Only drawback was the van we hired to make the 2 hour journey to the venue. Complaints about the vehicle included:

- steering wheel too cold
- nothing on the radio
- sticker on dash read 'husk lys', not 'Masselys'

tsk tsk...

Shooting for 'A Short Film on Democracy' was completed yesterday ... here's most of the cast between scenes... looking like they're awaiting test results... :) 

 

I'm gonna try and get an edit out in time for Halloween... bit tight really but I'll try... So what is this new film? Initial reports have it described as 'Rhubarb crumble with plutonium custard'   - I think that might be right...
