The Nordic Mood Return to LACC

Nordec Mood 


Good Morning Fridgeir,
I was hoping we could perhaps begin planning and work on the little project I mentioned to you a few weeks but involving your work/life. Now the piece is only able to be six minutes long but still I plan to show your photos exclusively and plan a bit of narration to help the audience catch up: As an example this paragraph from an article about you:

 Born a fisherman's son on an island off the coast of Iceland, Friðgeir Helgason's life has been anything but ordinary. At the age of six, his family's home was destroyed in a volcanic eruption. As a high school student, he excelled on a national quiz show. The prize was a short trip to Europe presented by the Icelandic prime minister. Airplane ticket in hand, Friðgeir took a few days off from school, left, and never came back. In the years that followed, Friðgeir traveled the world before settling in New Orleans where he worked as a chef for some of the city's best restaurants. In 2004, his personal life collapsed, and he found himself living in a cardboard box on LA's Skid Row. After checking himself into the Midnight Mission, Friðgeir got his life back on track and studied cinematography at Los Angeles City College, which lead him to his true calling: photography.

The Southern Mood

We may change a few words here and there but this will bring us up and through how you came to be at LACC and the impact it had on your life and even ability to really love again. So this little video could be named “Return to LACC-The Nordic Mood  or something like that but I want your images to be the most prominent component and then tell the story around it. I am applying for permission to Film on the LACC grounds hopefully in the next few weeks we may even get one or two of your instructors to take park. So what do you think, are you ready for something like that??
