Anne Cecilie is co-starring actor Kenneth Åkerland Berg who was in New York to cheerfully accept the award.
Film directed by the talented Mathias Hamre Askeland.

Motivation: Truly innovative and brave, this film chose to strip away everything but the communication between two people. Exceptional in forward thinking filmmaking.

SYNOPSIS

Through the lens of a photo booth, we see a couple trying to take a picture they both can agree on. This proves to be easier said than done.

The visual concept is simple but original: Every single visual aspect, from the 5:6 aspect ratio to the bright lighting, is motivated by one thought; that the film itself is a living picture taken in a photo booth.

Actors: Anne Cecilie Ukkelberg & Kenneth Åkerland Berg

The 15 mile bike loop in Shark Valley is a guaranteed way to find yourself alone, face to tail with Florida's best known reptile. Happy belated 100 year anniversary to the National Park Service! Over the past year, I travelled to 15 National parks in the U.S. documenting how the millennial generation is experiencing the parks. The story coming soon in the October issue of @natgeo Magazine.
