ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

We started on the story in January 2017 where some of us pitched the idea for the film collective. Several collaborators loved it so much that they offered to work with the story and plot. We had weekly meetings in a writers room where we developed the plot and characters. We made the outline and wrote the script from April to July 2017. We arranged a kickstarter campaign and received NOK 70.000 from 41 backers. We filmed the first part in July 2017 og the second part in August 2019. The working title was The Loop and was later changed to Raspberry1508™.

Since we wanted to create a dystopian atmosphere, the colors, props and photography were particulary important to us. We wanted the film to have an authentic documentary look. In order to gain that, the camera was handheld, the focus shifting and there was an extensive use of POV. The sound designer worked closely with the photographer and design department to create the claustrophobic environment. With a limited budget, we had to borrow and improvise to get the look we wanted. As Vibeke, our production designer kept saying: It’s all in the details.

It truly is.
