Marianne Olsen Ulrichsen
The writer/director of Come was educated at The Nordland Video Workshop in Kabelvåg. Since 1992, she has been working freelance in feature films, short films, commercials and commissioned films. Come is her directorial debut. In 1999, she will continue her studies at the National Film and Television School in England. She writes about herself:
Born on an island in the north of Norway, I ran away to Berlin as soon as I finished school, then broke my leg and got sent home. On returning to my village, I was offered a place in a media course for unemployed, confused kids. I accepted the place (though not very eagerly), and quickly found that I was hooked by filmmaking - not trapped, just happily awake. During the first years after finishing the course, I did whatever jobs I could get on various film productions - catering, runner, camera assistant on a feature film in Riga, first assistant director on shorts and commercials, actor, casting - and in the meantime, working hard to establish enough confidence to direct and tell my own stories...To me the most challenging part of filmmaking is to work with actors. In Come, I looked for moments - vivid, truthful moments, but still short moments. Now I want to let go of that kind of control and work more with the actor in a search for the truth of the character. What I want is for the actor to feel responsible for the character and then let the character tell the story.
