I made a thing...

This year's Vidukon Premiere was the Norwegian Show Øyevitne - it's a 'coming-of-age/coming-out' story rolled into a crime drama, steeped in Nordic Noir story-telling. It's not actually a whodunit since we know who did it from the start, it focuses more on the 'why' and the ripple-effect of the crime as it impacts on a whole community. Some similarities to Broadchurch in that respect, I guess. The show was remade for US TV last year with some success, so I thought it would be nice to commemorate the original as well.

I really enjoyed this at the con - I'm waiting for the show to come around on Netflix so I can watch, because it looks well worth checking out. Thank you for making this vid :) I love finding new things to watch through great vids.

Beautiful vid. <3

By the way, the download link on your website points to a local address on a computer instead of on the website.

Thank you for letting me know, it should be fixed now.

I quite like the Nodic Noir visuals, and since it's not as action and dialog driven as US shows, it's much easier to find good clips without to much movement or talky faces. And it's rather beautiful in a muted kind of palet. Thank you for the comment, you made my day. ;)

Glad you were able to enjoy it, I was a bit worried that it was too disjointed and confusing for people who don't know the show (= everbody ;)), I was focusing more on the visual & emotional resonance of the central characters, rather than the overall story line. Not sure the Norwegian Version will ever make it to Netflix, though, now that there is a US one.
