La Cinef consisted of 16 student films, chosen out of entries from film schools around the world. As his Danish mother has just passed away, he starts to want to have a child of his own. Lyngstad and Koefoed Larsen wrote the film together. It was a very deliberate choice to make a film about male sexuality.
It is also an interesting challenge that it is seen from a female gaze. I wanted to look at the loneliness and what things this loneliness brings along. I wanted to look at how it can come this far. The writers did extensive research and travelled around Europe to gather real life stories for the script.
So I started out by researching sex doll brothels. I went on a trip around Europe and spoke to several sex workers about their experiences. After that, Lyngstad met with a real Norwegian blogger, who wrote about male sexuality and runs a dating site focusing on fertile dating. The purpose was to have children with the women he was dating. But then we decided to cast a professional actor. It has been exciting for the film team to bring their film Norwegian Offspring to Cannes.
My biggest hope is that this recognition will enable us to make a feature film as our next project. Learn more HERE.
