A Conversation with Nuummioq director Otto Rosing.

Interview by Peter and Jeff

Video editing by Aaron Cullers

We ran into this gentleman on a couch in the lobby of the Park City Marriot the other day. After talking to him for a bit we jumped at the chance to interview him, since he was charming and delightful and the movie that he directed at great physical and emotional cost sounded fantastic. Here's what we talked about (Sorry about the sound, the Sony Webbys are great but the lobby was crowded suddenly by middle-aged italian snowboarders soon after we began talking!)...

A few days after this conversation he and Nuummioq the film started getting massive 'buzz' and hopefully will be coming to a theater in DC soon.

Another great thing about this movie is the introduction to Greenland's indie music scene on the soundtrack. Nuummioq's Musical Director Jan De Vroede wrote us with some sample tracks from the soundtrack--both stuff he composed and songs by the adorable Nive Nielsen, a folky strange singer-songwriter from the contradictory land which only has 50,ooo inhabitants, all of whom apparently pitched in to make this movie.
