archived-videos Saving Norman starring Willem Dafoe

[mluca]

Not everyone gets a chance to receive a Skype call from Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti. But this is exactly what happened to Hanneke Schutte a few months ago after winning the South Africa Jameson First Shot competition.

Hanneke received a call from Kevin & Dana and they told her she will be flying to LA in a weeks time to direct her short film with Willem Dafoe.

Hanneke managed to direct this brilliant little masterpiece about a hypochondriac ex-ping pong player now lives a hermetic existence with his parrot Norman.

(sad filmmaker face) I wish I got a Skype call from KS and DB.

I want a skype call with lana wachowski, but I wouldn't complain if I got KS

I was really disappointed with this. The ending was trite and unbelievable. Still, the filmmaker probably has a great career ahead directing rom-coms, because they like that kind of sentimental, desperately cute nonsense.

I didn't like the short a lot but the acting and soundtrack was amazing.
