Hi guys, not sure if it's healthy to have several balls in the air, but as a small fish in a big pond I feel like I have to gamble on more than one horse. Been running my company Kanalstrasse since 2008 and haven't gone tired just yet! I've been working mostly with documentaries the last few years, but at the moment my main focus is a feature about Finn (24). Tagline: "Pretending to be an idealist has never been harder". There's a market for the film and I designed the script so it's actually possible to raise money for it. It's a road movie, and my goal is to get partners in various countries in Europe (where Finn travels). Apart from that I'm busy delivering my latest documentary to a Swedish distributor (DVD-release), writing a short film (30 min) and developing a series for Swedish, possibly Norwegian, TV. And a couple of other things..

Hello. I actually know how to pronounce your name, as I have Norwegian friends
Hello Oystein, I am Jamie Knight. I am usually brief on these things and to the point. I am looking for these: A FUR FARMER TO INTERVIEW IN SWEDEN, 2) ANYONE WHO BUYS FUR 3) A PRODUCER INTERESTED IN THIS DOCUMENTARY...Canada exports furs and especially baby harp seal. <y doc is about Dog,Cat,Raccoon/animal fur PRODUCTS/PLATES being legally imported and sold in Canada. Look forward to hearing from you, Jamie..www.knightlifefilms.wix.com/productions
Impressive Randall, I normally introduce myself as "Austin" for everyone's convenience, subsequently getting "Powers" added to it, hehe. Jamie: 1 and 2: no one I know of, but a farmer should be possible to dig up. I know fur farming is a hot potato in Norway, may be illegalized, not sure what's up in Sweden.
Btw Jamie, your 358.2 MILE WALK is a documentary that stands on it's own feet if you ask me. You got someone with you filming it?
No Oystein,..You're quick my friend..I am doing it all with the exception of 1 cinematographer part time time which I am paying for but I need someone to film this walk that's been a hold up..I am eager to do this walk..
It could be a very real film, if you know what I mean, if you did the walk by yourself, filming by yourself, using a tripod when you need to be in frame. Depends on what kind of film you're planning of course, but it seems apparent this film is about you. And the enormous sacrifice - lacking a better word - you do, and WHY you do it.
