Film School Confidential: LOGLINES AND DIALOGUE

4. October 2012 by Palle Schmidt

Another day with Stefan Jaworski, looking at log lines for our stories, trying to distill it down to one simple idea. What the logline should contain, is the main protagonist, his or her main project, and the resistance in the story. It’s also a great idea to have dramatic irony in the logline (in Liar, […]

Film School Confidential: BACK TO THE EIGHTIES

2. October 2012 by Palle Schmidt

Back at Film School this week, kicking off with big drama both on screen and off. Drama teacher Mogens Rukow is an elderly gentleman and has struggled with health problems during most of my year at the school. During his weekly talk about movie structure (and the almost just as weekly showing of scenes from Godfather I, II or […]

Film School Confidential: PAIN AND SUFFERING WITH LARS DETLEFSEN

6. September 2012 by Palle Schmidt

The last three days of this week at Film School we read our treatments aloud and got critique from head of the screenwriting education, Lars Detlefsen. When we were up in that room before the summer, I felt like I took a beating. But today, a fellow student took a beating that reminded me of Bane kicking Batman’s butt […]

On the move: MOVIE BUSINESS MEET AND GREET

12. June 2012 by Palle Schmidt

I attended the annual(?) Fiction Day at the Danish Film Institute (DFI) yesterday. A long, exhausting day of panels, discussions and talks from some of the people who call the shots in Danish film. As you may know, the arts are heavily subsidized in Denmark, making it almost impossible to get funding for a movie unless […]

Jakob Cedergreen as drunken bully Nick Just re-watched this gem as an in-flight movie, and it made me want to cry. Again! “Submarino“, a portrait of people at the very bottom of Danish society, sees director Thomas Vinterberg return to true form. Vinterberg is known abroad for “The Celebration“, “It’s All About Love” and “Dear […]
