Nano, the story, and my intentions
Nano is a fast moving and gritty tech-thriller in the vein of the classic “The Fugitive”.
On the first level it’s a story about a woman and her family which gets drawn into a deadly game when she refuses to cooperate with the Big Pharma. This level is full of entertaining thriller twists and turns, double crosses and manipulative games.
The second level is an incisive social commentary on the Big Pharma and the rotting corporate culture. Here my intention is to ask, How deep does the corporate greed go? And how little are our own lives actually worth in the big scheme of things?
And on the third level is the true core of the human drama. It’s about the protagonist`s inner journey and confrontation with her past deeds and her questionable moral values. It’s also about this woman’s true dilemma. Does she fight for her ideals and help countless people dying of lung cancer or does she save her most loved ones, her own family?

The emotional core of the story – part 1 of 2
Should we write only what we know? Play it safe and approach matters that we have lived through. Or should we take a wild chance, put everything on some fierce card, anything to blast our way out of the safe and comfy shell of ours. Out of our comfort zone. And what does that mean? Might it bring something deeper with it? Something which will bubble up from our subconscious, our heart(?), and attempt to enlighten our essence? To expand our inner cosmos?
The emotional core of the story – part 2 of 2
Last time, I concluded at how important it is to arrive at a deeper emotional connection between us, the writers, and the characters in our stories. The true stuff of life, our hard earned emotional experience which has burnt its way into our subconscious, and made us into who we are. This time around I would like to go deeper into my own experience of enquiry about the main character of my novel. A protoganist which was as far away from my own personality as I could possibly imagine. Or so I thought initially. But more importantly I would like to break down my process of enquiry into some more manageable steps and conclusions. So others might hopefully take away something of value from this.
The future of the filmmaker Auteur
I think there will alwayas be a public for sensitive cinema made as an art-experience, as there will always exist a public for fine literature. But I also see the emergence of a few trends which might change the way we make movies in the coming decade. And I believe this coming 10-15 years will bring forth new ways to tell stories, unlike anything we’ve seen before, and it will be more accessible than it has ever been before. All of this will have a major impact on the Auteur Filmmaker/Storyteller. In the most profound way.
