"ANGRY MAN"
- an animated film about domestic violence based upon the book by Gro Dahle and Svein Nyhus.

I wished to make an animated film that could be used and not just for the sake of entertainment.
I looked for a long time for a story and finally I falled for "Angry Man" ("Sinna Mann") when the author
Gro Dahle introduced me for the script she had about Boj.
Initially I called her a winters day in 2003 about a different book: "Kind", but that is a different story and
a different film. In fact that book was snatched by Mikrofilm AS just a couple of weeks earlier.

Gro, and her illustrator and husband Svein Nyhus, let me generously start to work on this film even before
their book was released. Several of the characters in this film are therefore collected from the couple's
earlier books, especially from Svein Nyhus' book "World without Corners". But after a while the
illustrations from the Angry Man book, with their symbolisms, were included to form the film.
Gro Dahle and Svein Nyhus gave me no limits as to adapt their work. That was a fantastic starting point
and there would of course never have been a "Angry Man" film without the "Angry Man" book.
