    “Its a poetic, realistic, surrealistic and somewhat experimental drama. The film features two girls, Pearl and Skye, both struggling foreign actresses in L.A. during pilot season. We follow these two on the day of a very important audition. Their stories are very similar: they are both competing or the same part, they are both living on a friends couch and they are both involved in destructive relationships. It is an exploration of the need to get recognized, to be loved and accepted, but most importantly of the sacrifices we make to achieve this. We see the girls go through great lengths to get what they want. They might even get stripped of their dignity.”

  • Gourmet Film
    Allan Hyde discussed Gourmetfilm.com with AllanHydeNews.com in November 2010. Allan stated that the idea for the website’s name rooted from his and his long time best friend Aske Bang’s (creator of the short “The Dwarf and The Whore”/ ‘Dværgen og Luderen‘) love of fine wine and food. Allan and Aske love to dine out and cook food themselves. A joke the best friends shared together goes that if they ever started a film production company, it would be called “Gourmet Film” and that people who would help them with their projects would be paid with good food that they cooked themselves as they considered it gourmet. Gourmetfilm.com is planned to be launched early in 2011. As part of Gourmetfilm.com, Allan and Aske are currently working on a five-part web series entitled, “Alla Salute!”
