ctor Lasse Nielsen tells coming of age story THE STORY OF NET is the result of a community project which Nielsen initiated in Thailand. A group of young people in a small Thai village were encouraged to tell stories from their own life and the lives of other villagers. From these stories, Nielsen wrote a screenplay, and then directed the movie, using only people from the village as both actors and crew. The co-director/cameraman, Bancha Khemngeun, is a village man with no previous film experience. He also plays the role of the Father. Original music and songs for THE STORY OF NET were composed by Chiang Mai university student, Danaikrit Inthurit. This is his first film score. The entire film was shot on a consumer Sony HDV camera with minimalist accessories. A photo tripod without fluid head. Sound was recorded with a cheap shotgun mike attached to the camera. For Living Films Post it was an interesting challenge to take on the online edit, color correction and sound design. The resulting master is surprisingly clean and cinematic. Lasse Nielsen’s first feature film, LA’ OS VÆRE (LET US BE), was nominated for a Golden Bear at the 1975 Berlin Film Festival. That film was followed by MÅSKE KU’ VI (Maybe We Could) in 1976 and DU ER IKKE ALENE (You Are Not Alone) in 1978 ¬ all written and directed by Lasse Nielsen. The project was initated by Lasse’s long time friend, film producer Gerry Herman. Meeting up with Lasse during a visit to Thailand in early 2008,Gerry, realized that it’s time to put Lasse’s talent back into use. He bought a little camera, gaveit to Lasse with the words: “Make a film”. While Gerry expected a short film, Lasse went on to write, produce and direct a full-length feature film with a budget so low that we don’t even want to mention it.
