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.

Writing Experience: THE DROWNING DETECTIVE

27. June 2011 by Palle Schmidt

I wrote a movie script a few years back, I just thought of an English title for it. The basic premise came from my Fusion writing partner Malik Hyltoft.
