Family Reunion playing on HereTV ?

Could it be that Family Reunion is playing on HereTV?  Although we have not been notified by the US distributor, a quick internet search proves that this just may be the case.   In our minds, this is great news for the HereTV audience.    -- If you happen to catch a glimpse of our debut short, please tell us about it.  We find comfort in knowing that our "first born" is faring well, on its own in the world.  

Clean sold to Icelandic National TV Broadcaster

Our talented lead actress, Lauren Hennessy (nominee for Best Lead Actress at Icelandic Film&TV awards) will be making her way onto Icelandic television screens this fall - a fact Icelanders are sure to celebrate.    Clean (Edda Academy Winner 2011) has been officially sold to our national broadcaster, RÚV - making this our third short  film to be purchased by the network.    -- Stay tuned for further details and airdates.  

Family Reunion, Committed (Njálsgata) and Clean will entertain you at 30 000 feet

I am delighted to announce that No 9 Productions has signed an agreement with Icelandair -- providing them with the rights to broadcast our short films, Family Reunion (Góðir gestir), Committed (Njálsgata) and Clean on board their aircrafts.  

Beginning October 1st 2011, please check out these films on Icelandair's in-flight entertainment system and tell us about your experience.   ( since I have not had the chance to conduct my own quality assurance.)

Nordic Talents on the horizon

A glance at the calendar reveals that the "Nordic Talents" pitch competition is merely two weeks away.  A frightening, but equally invigorating realization.

The jury has been announced, and much to my excitement includes such names as Lone Scherfig (Danish writer/director),  Thomas Robsam (Film Commissioner at The Norwegian Film Institute), Lars Blomgren (Managing Director at Swedish Filmlance International), John Webster (Finnish doc director) and Tabitha Jackson. (Commissioning Editor for Arts at Channel 4, UK)

Busy, busy

For those of you who are still checking in, we'd like to give you a bit of an update, considering there has not been one since March 2011.

Now, where to begin?  Well,  "Clean" went to a bunch of festivals (will supply details in next postings), "Revolution Reykjavik" was sound mixed, color corrected and completed successfully, (let us not forget how humble we are) garnering awards at Columbia University (details to come) while Family Reunion, Committed and Clean were sold to variety of places (info due soon). --  And as if that wasn't enough, "Revolution Reykjavik" is about to officially premiere in its namesake town of Reykjavik.  (some call it a city, but that would be completing over-doing it. (Christina Choe would agree.))

At last, we are excited to announce that yours truly is soon to present her first feature-film proposal at "Nordic Talents" in Copenhagen.   The event in question is a "pitch competition" amongst recent film graduates of the Nordic Countries.   (yours truly qualified, in light of having just received her MFA in writing/directing from Columbia University.)  

We have been advised to rehearse our pitches in front of mirrors and videocameras, so that's where you'll find me for the next few weeks;  Rehearsing the art of seduction in front of whatever mirror makes it into my path.   In September, you will find out how I fared.  

More soon ---

Wishing you well from our new office in the Arctic.
