Almost Home
Making a student film set in space, in a zero gravity environment, is a huge challenge. Making it well enough to get it shortlisted for the Oscars is something else – but that’s the story behind Norwegian contender Almost Home. It was produced by Jonas Lembeck, directed by Nils Keller and shot by Georg Nikolaus, and it stars seasoned actors Susanne Wolff and Stephen Kampwirth alongside rising star Jeremias Meyer – all of whom reunited when an opportunity arose to talk about the film.
“It’s intensely humbling,” says Nils of the Oscar news. “We dreamed of being there, but still, you can’t calculate with that. It has already been a great journey going to the Student Academy Awards, being nominated there, receiving an award there, then being qualified for the Oscars, then making it to the shortlist. So this is all like a huge journey we never anticipated and in.
