GourmetFilm: "THE FILM IS HAPPENING!!!"

Danish actors and film makers Nina Helveg ("Alla Salute!") Aske Bang ("The Friendly,") and Allan Hyde ("True Blood,") recently launched their first KickStarter campaign for the project "Fly On The Wings Of Love" under their indie production company, GourmetFilm.

"Fly On The Wings of Love" "is a musical short film satire about love, inspiration and music. It's a story about how these intertwine and how one leads to another.

The Olsen Brothers are trying to make it big in U.S. after enjoying some substantial success in their native Denmark. They are touring California in the summer of '69 when they meet the two free spirited hippie girls Maria and Angelina who put their brotherly friendship to the test when bringing pot, acid and jealousy into the equation." (GourmetFim)

The teams' KickStarter campaign which was launched on the 23rd of July (and will end on Monday, July 30th) aims to assist the production of this project that the group plan to shoot within the few weeks. Donations towards this project will go toward paying for rental of equipment, wardrobe, permits, and catering among other things. Everyone working on the project are devoting their time for free, lowering the cost of the production.

Although the target amount for the production of the film have been met, GourmetFilm still welcome donations from new backers that will allow them to rent better equipment to make a better film.


A short video of Aske Bang and Allan Hyde thanking their backers for the donations and encouraging new backers to help out their project has been posted on their KickStarter site so check it out!

Gourmet Film's "Stupid Clown"

Danish actor Allan Hyde, best known for his portrayal of the 2,000 year-old vampire Godric in HBO's True Blood recently released a short film written and directed by himself under GourmetFilm.



Hyde described the short titled Stupid Clown "theater of the absurd as a road trip short film."



"Vincent and Eugene are on the road and though the distractions are

plenty, they are determined not to let anything slow them down," Hyde added.



Stupid Clown is both funny and bitter-sweet, a reminiscence of Samuel Beckett's classic French play, Waiting for Godot. And like Beckett's play, Stupid Clown can be interpreted in so many ways; what is the point of the story? Or is there any point to it at all? Hyde's writing is very simple; the lines were direct but left impact. What's memorable about the film is the actor's interaction with each other (that and Vladimir and Estragon sitting on the side of the road holding ballons.)







Produced by Christian Heuer Stupid Clown stars Johnny Simmons (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) as Vincent, Allan Hyde as Eugene, Tom Banks (Director of Photography), and Reece Miller (Sound Recordist). Other credits: Hans Christian Arnt Torp (Sound Design, Sound Recordist), Daniel Vognstrup (Music, Sound Recordist), and Stephanie Potts (Makeup).
