Dette er en visuelt unik film som er skutt foran et 'grønt lerret', og det visuelle utrykket er noe så sjeldent som en blanding mellom et dataspill og et teaterstykke. Filmen er en ungdomsfilm, men er verdt å se for voksne også, mye på grunn av det unike visuelle uttrykket, men filmen er også sterk og engasjerende, og til ettertanke.
Marcus Romer er regissør, forfatter og filmskaper, og kommer på AMIFF og presenterer filmen "The Knife that Killed Me" som han regisserte sammen med Kit Monkman. Marcus spesialiserer seg på å utforske digitale uttrykksformer i teater og film. Les mer om Marcus under.
Handlingen i filmen:
Paul Vardeman flytter og starter på en ny skole der han blir involvert med "The Freaks", outsiders som ikke passer inn. Samtidig tiltrekker han seg oppmerksomheten til skolens bølle, Roth. Konfrontert med økende press fra begge gruppene, må Paul bestemme hvor hans vennskap ligger, en beslutning som kan koste livet.
I forbindelse med sitt besøk på AMIFF, gir Marcus et lukket skuespillerkurs til elever på teaterlinja på Harstad Folkehøgskole og siste året på teaterlinja på Heggen vgs.

Director: Marcus Romer, Kit Monkman. 2014 UK. Universal Pictures. Runtime: 97 min. Age limit 15 years.
This is a visually unique film that is shot in front of a 'green screen', and the visual expression is something as rare as a mix between a computer game and a stage play. The film is for teenagers, but is worth seeing for adults too, largely because of the unique visual expression, but also because the film is strong and engaging, and it gives food for thought.
Marcus Romer is a director, writer and filmmaker, and comes to AMIFF and presents the film "The Knife That Killed Me" which he directed together with Kit Monkman. Marcus specializes in exploring digital forms of expression in theater and film.
