DIRECTORS COMMENT

"I was one of ten directors who had the opportunity to make a documentary series for TV3 called Grenseland.  I was the only woman.  We chose the subject ourselves.  I wanted to document life in Oslo through a taxi drivers’ eyes, so we rigged a taxi with mini cameras and microphones.   We drove our car behind the taxi to see what happened.  We did this for a week - mostly at night - and recorded the strangest incidents.  I choose to edit it as happening all in one night.  The driver took proper people to parties and picked them up later in a quite different state. This was an unfamiliar way to make a film, for all of us. It was not usual to ask everybody to sign forms, as today, and - of course - we got into trouble if someone recognized themselves in the film, even though we never showed faces. We had to disguise the voices to the unrecognizable, which changed the whole experience for me.  But it is a fun film :-)"
