About

This is a personal project through my brand "Late Films", a film brand focusing on visualizing stories and ideas that aren't possible in our normal lives, often taking a surreal approach to film production.

"Wannabe detective Krishna Walden fumbles his way through an undercover mission, accidentally exposing his corrupt boss, Klaus Schitt-Stein. Armed with bad one-liners and sheer dumb luck, he stumbles into justice, earning a promotion just in time to face a new, absurd crisis."

The movie takes place in the "Soap Cinematic Universe (SCU)", a satirical comedy franchise created by me and Sigurd Sandvik. It is a series filled with absurd jokes designed to push buttons.

I particularly enjoyed working in this style of film. We had a lot of fun creating the Film-Noir atmosphere through lighting, costumes, and set design. I also experimented with new techniques behind the camera, and I am very pleased with the results.

Written, directed, produced, filmed, and edited by me.

Stills.
