Birta Ögn Elvarsdóttir - Creative Technology 

Birta will be graduating from Creative Technology with her film "The Date"

The Date

The film is about a man and a woman meeting for a blind date where they accidentally kidnap a baby. 


What is the first movie experience you remember?

Probably when I was watching “The King and I” on the small tube TV in the attic.


What fascinates you about filmmaking?

It's so much fun to see ideas come to life and what people are doing to implement those ideas.


Why did you choose your department?

I've always enjoyed editing and filming so I thought, why not learn the techniques of filmmaking properly?


Did anything particularly surprise you during your studies?

I was surprised at how much I learned. There was and is always something new that you pick up.


And what does the future look like?

Good, but I still can't think much further than 2-3 days ahead at the moment. You can ask me again a few days after graduation.
