November

2018

A wry, low-key character study of creative frustration that feels like watching someone spin their wheels in real time.

Directed by
Kasper Møller Rask
Starring
Theresa Frostad Eggesbø, Mikkel Hilgart, Marie Christensen
Overview
A young Norwegian woman tries to make it as a screenwriter in the Danish film industry. Unfortunately, she runs out of ideas before she even gets started. Like the rest of film history's self-conscious wannabes, however, she is good at creating visual montages of the classic poses of writer's block. It doesn't help. You can't make a film without at least one good idea.
