CASE: 1st Short movie project at Krogerup Højskole
DURATION: 1.5 Month
I’ve never really been into documentaries; I’ve always preferred watching
movies. But I wanted to challenge myself to try something completely
different from what I’m used to.
In class, my classmate Alberte pitched a story about her grandmother
in North Jutland. Her husband of 50 years had passed away only four months
earlier, and she lived five hours away from her family. Alberte was worried
about her being lonely, and it made her think about her own fear of being
alone one day.
I felt a connection to that story, so we went there for four days to talk to
her and try to understand her life. It ended up changing my perspective on things,
both how I look at life and the way I tell stories by 'creating backwards' and
letting the moments guide the film.
