Our parents, loved ones, and friends are getting cancer. So we need to know how to care for them, support them, and understand what the hell is going on.

Our film society back home is so different from here. Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language. It's just figuring things out and understanding the codes and how the system of Hollywood compares to that of Norway. We don't even have agents. There's no studio system, no managers.
