The Orheim Company (Kompani Orheim)
Jarle is 24 when a phone call rouses him from his drunken sleep. It is his mother, telling him that his father is dead. Instead of sadness, Jarle is filled with anger and a sense of relief. Based on Tore Renberg’s bestselling novel, The Orheim Company is a strong, human tale about a boy growing up with an alcoholic father, but also an energetic story about teenage lust, pain and passion – about liberation and redemption. The Orheim Company will be the last chapter in the trilogy about Jarle Klepp, which started with The Man Who Loved Yngve and I Travel Alone.

Director
Arild Andresen
Arild Andresen (b. 1967) has directed in excess of 100 commercials for the Moland Film Company since 1999, and has received numerous national and international awards for his work in this field, as well as for other commissioned films he's directed. While commercials may have been his bread and butter, Andresen also worked on other productions before making his debut as a feature film director. He directed the short film Mary in 1999, and both wrote and directed the two shorts Pokerface (1996) and Sit Tight (2003).
Sit Tight (2003)
He also directed the television series The Boys in 2006, which became the first Norwegian television series ever to be nominated for an Emmy Award, and has since been sold to TV-channels and networks all across the world. Andresen made his debut as a feature film director with the highly acclaimed youth comedy The Liverpool Goalie in 2010. The film had its international premiere at the international film festival in Berlin in 2011, where it won the Crystal Bear for Best Film in the 14plus section of the Generation Competition, as well as received Special Mention from the Generation International Jury of the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk. It has since been screened at numerous festivals around the world.
