 From the production of "CUT", Cinematographer Anders Lindved and Director Jesper Tønnes with the ARRI 765 65mm camera. Picture: Thomas HauerslevDirector Jesper Tønnes' forthcoming "Nothing Ventured", a short film in four parts photographed in Super 8, Super 16, 4-perf 35mm and the grand 65mm film format! This was the first time a Danish production has been photographed with the German made ARRI 765 camera. It's a thrilling story, all shot on professional ARRI cameras, handled by true artists in their craft. We have received a lot of help from ARRI and KODAK. The Story: In Chapter 1, we follow Fixer, who has to pick up a mysterious red suitcase from a local group of henchmen. The problem is that they two guys guarding the suitcase have looked inside. This instantly triggers a debate about ownership. A debate Fixer must solve with his fists, while demonstrating exactly how he earned his nickname. - It's an Tarantino-esque pub drama with roots in "Sergio Leone westerns", and Kung-Fu-films. In Chapter 2, we are introduced to Fixer's "partner in crime"; Søren. The two men stand at a crossroads. They can deliver the red suitcase to their boss, pay off their debts, and start a retirement worthy of two criminal gentlemen. Or... Søren can steal the suitcase for himself - or rather, for his neglected daughter; Anna. The question is "What matters most?": His friendship, his retirement or his daughter's future? With his life on the line, Søren steals the suitcase, hunted now by both friends and enemies. In the 3rd and 4th chapters, the red suitcase arrives at Anne's doorstep. She's a young woman caught in an endless spiral of bad decisions and wrong friends. She lives a life as a prostitute, but when the red suitcase arrives at her door, she realizes it's her way out. It won't be easy though. First, she has to get past Fixer, who's been tracking down the suitcases and won't let it go without a fight! These last two chapters are where the analog formats will show their true strengths. We can't wait to show you the iconic look of 35mm and the epicness of 65mm. • Go to Help Needed to Finish the Ultimate Analog Short Film • Go to "CUT" with ARRI 765.

Official "Nothing Ventured" premiere at Odense International Film Festival, Denmark | |
| In this Danish gangster drama, everything is a 10! The excitement, the suspense, the level of acting, the cast (! - which is impressive to say the least) and the plot. If Tarantino and Guy Ritchie had a Danish love child - and that love child was a film (!), this would probably be it(!?). The film you didn't know you needed has arrived! Told with sardonic humor, action and total dedication on every level. Lean back and enjoy the ride! Play dates • 27.08.2024 • 28.08.2024 • 30.08.2024 • 31.08.2024 Digital Presentations | |
