Back in town, gearing up for Haugesund

Summer is over, autumn is here and the responsibilities are mounting up - that feels nice.

Today Anders, Henrik and myself had a "after the summer"-meeting where we talked about what has happened during the summer when we all been separated, at least physically. Henrik told us some more about his experiences at the "politikervecka" in Almedalen, (which I'm looking forward to some post about, Henrik!), and we generally discussed what should happen in the near future. Several interesting collaborations are on their way!

One nice site that Henrik brought to our attention was Plotbot, a web-based screenwriting software, that are exactly the kind of app that would be nice to intergrate into this site.

Next week I'm going to The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund. There they have the annual Nordic Co-Production and Film Financing Forum. The forum's focus this year is on co-productions with Germany, France, Canada and the Nordic countries. Canada!! That's right up our alley, so I'm going there! There is a possibility to pitch projects at the forum, but you need a certain amount of financing in place etc to do that - so I'm going as an observer. I hope to get some input on how to move on with the contact towards the (other) big country in the west, and hopefully meet some interesting people.

At least this what I had in mind when I booked the flight. Now the other day I got the schedule and participant's list, and I'm no longer so certain visavi the possibilities. There is one (1) point in the program about Canada (30 minutes long), and I find one (1) in the participant's list from Canada.
But then again, maybe a lot of Canadians are hiding under .com-adresses and people say Haugesund is a great festival to visit - so I'm not really worried.

I'll tell you about it when I'm back.

Happy Weekend
