2011 is upon us and we are waiting to hear back from a numerous financiers, and submitting to a number of funding organisations. Fingerc crossed our co-production with Denmark is going to come to fruition, as we’re big fans of Danish editors.

We’re planning some shoots in the spring to bring Neil’s blog to life. We can’t recommend enough that you read his original blog at www.plattitude.com to see how Neil thought and wrote about his last year.

Breathing has been selected to guest pitch as part of the UK delegation at the Nordisk Panorama in Bergen, Norway this September. We are delighted to attend and present the project to international TV commissioners and financiers and talk about possible Scandinavian collaborations.

About Nordisk Panorama – a 5 Cities Film Festival has for several years been a vital stop on the international film festival circuit – famous for its cultural importance and creativity, and recognized as a good place to find new, soulful, cutting-edge work. Taking the pulse on the current Nordic short film & documentary scene, the festival creates a vibrant meeting-point for filmmakers, distributors, financiers and audience alike! Since 1989 the festival has rotated annually between the five Nordic countries Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Finland.

Two other major parallel events take place during the festival: Nordisk Forum for Co-financing of documentaries, and Nordisk Panorama Market. The Forum and Market span every professional focus area, from the development and financing to the distribution and exhibition.

The Hardest Thing

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is that letter from me to Oscar trying to tell him who I am. How do you anticipate what someone might want to know about you 10, 15 or 20 years from now?”
