Ratiti

on the road from stardom

When Eivind Løberg was 8 years old he was one of the biggest pop stars in Norway. Today - 40 years later - he lives alone in a mobile home and he doesn't miss fame at all.

But he is still a brilliant musician, even though he has no need for an audience. So he drives around the country, from the city to the ocean, to fjords and to mountains, and he plays his music for nature. And he hopes that some day soon he will come up with a masterpiece, and that this time someone else will perform it.


Ratiti is a documentary film about a man who had a different kind of childhood and has chosen a different kind of adulthood, where he has sacrifised things like having a job and a family for his love of music and freedom. 
Would he have chosen this life no matter what, or is it the curse of the child star to never grow up? 
And does he have it in him to produce a piece of music good enough to earn him a living?


Our Story

We are three students making our graduation film for the bachelors degree in documentary film production at Lillehammer University College. We have spent the last three years learning how to tell true stories about real people through moving pictures, and we're ready to do that for this project as well as keeping the film as entertaining and humorous as humanly possible.


What We Need & What You Get

We've got an original budget of about 1000$, which we have already pretty much spent just filming the pilot. 
Being that this is a roadmovie and we're not shooting on film, our primary budget post is transportation; gas. Of course the movie will be finished no matter what, but if we have a little bit more money, we will be able to follow Eivind in his housecar for a bit longer and we don't have to worry about getting all the important remaining scenes in a hurry during one short trip. This means that the more money we get, the further we can follow Eivind in his housecar, and the better the movie will get! Simple as that.
