Þorgeir Sigurðsson - Directing and Producing
Þorgeir will be graduating from Directing and Producing with his film "Brotrip"
Brotrip
Two friends go on a road trip when one of them experiences heartbreak.
What is the first movie experience you remember?
My first movie experience was probably when I was 5 years old at my grandfather's house and I watched "Shrek" on VHS with my siblings, it was in terrible quality and on such an old antenna tube TV, but I still think I watched it three times during the trip.
What fascinates you about filmmaking?
Always enjoyed creating art and acting, and filmmaking is a very natural path for me to gravitate towards.
Why did you choose your department?
I originally chose Screenwriting and Directing, yet switched when I looked at how diverse producing was.
Did anything particularly surprise you in your studies?
I was surprised how active the teachers are at the school and there is so much interaction between student and teacher to make the projects as good as possible, it is a collaboration and you can feel that most people want to be part of making a good film.
And what does the future look like?
Hopefully the future is good.
