Full resume & CV

After opening shop in early 2009, Blind Film have been hired by several production companies, doing different kinds of jobs on a range of productions, differing from multi camera live events to news reports, concert recordings and music videos, commercials for cinema and short films.

Making videos is about people. You need passonate people spesalicing in diffrent fields working on the same product in order to come out with something decent. Blind Film have got a great network of people, all pessonate about what they do, all specialicing in different fields, all knowing what the next man is good for and capable of. This is truely invalueble for any production we do.

I am currently living down under, doing my bachelor degree in Film & Television at Bond University. As so I'm not able to take on too many jobs, but do not let that stop you from sending me a request if there is something you could need my help for. If I can't assist you directly I may be able to pull some strings within my network of awesome people!

After finishing up my bachelor degree I hope to go back to Norway to either work in Oslo or Trondheim. If I'm really lucky I'll be working on feature films, being able to travel around the country - and maybe even the world - doing what I love the most! If not, I'm way happy with all that I've done so far in freelancing and have no problems at all going back to doing commercials, music videos and all that good stuff.
