This is me (2023, in prod.)

Title: This is me

Scholarly Video Journal Article

In this art-sy research journal-style documentary, we delve into the world of the Norwegian Kulturskole, a thriving municipal Culture School known for music and performing arts. While scholars have explored leadership, teachers, and inclusion/exclusion in this context, one perspective has been largely overlooked: that of the students. Join us on a journey of discovery as a dedicated teacher sets out to understand the profound impact of the Kulturskole on pupils’ lives. Through the eyes of four students, their dance teacher, and a passionate PhD candidate, we witness a five-month collaboration that uncovers the essence of self-expressiveness, togetherness, and perfor-managing in the learning process. This groundbreaking study introduces new materialist perspectives, shedding light on the Kulturskole’s transformative influence on young lives and youth-centered research

We contribute heavily in this production with bespoke music and score mixing, delivered in stereo, co-narrating the story by creating sonic landscapes highlighting what’s between the lines. In addition, we also provided sound editing (foley, design, editing, restoration) and re-recording mixing. On this project, we also edited and graded the visuals of the video.
