Graduation Winter 2022 - Ingimar Oddsson, Screenwriting and Directing
Ingimar Oddsson is graduating from Screenwriting and Directing with his film “The End”
In an isolated restaurant by the road, a group of people seek shelter from the extreme weather. One of the guests seems to know too much about the others' pasts and stirs up trouble that ends in murder...
What they don't know is that they have all been called to this place by a higher power to receive their final judgment.
All these people are blinded by self-righteousness. They are morally blind and have no compassion for others. All they need to save themselves is to repent, regret their actions and have compassion.
But none of them have any regrets...
The angel who comes to their rescue is killed and thus they reject all hope of absolution for their sins.
What is the first movie experience you remember?
My first movie experience in a movie theater was when I ran out when the letters came on in the beginning. I was so afraid of the noise. The babysitter missed that movie.
What fascinates you about filmmaking?
What fascinates me the most in movies is how people capture beauty in a frame. Interaction of music and visual arts together with acting. To find all types of art in one place.
Why did you choose your department?
Screenwriting and Directing was chosen because I felt a lack of knowledge there and I wanted to know more. Now I've also developed an interest in Creative Technology and I plan to take some courses in Creative Technology in the new year.
Did anything particularly surprise you during your education?
The program is very much in the spirit I expected. I have also had time for self-study and it has worked well for me.
And what does the future look like?
I aim to make poetic documentaries. Capture something that gives the viewer a new perspective
