Dag Season 4 Tagline: To those few who have dared to really live, death appear less frightening

If life can be looked upon as a carousel, the three seasons of DAG has given it's main characters the choice to be bystanders who sees the wheel spin along without them, or having them jump on at full speed. In Season four of this dark ridden dramedy series and it´s take on life with love and angst for humantiy, the characters has been strapped forcefully to the carousell horse with nowhere to escape. Pretty much like life itself forces us to spin until we fall off one by one. This all star nordic cast assembled, throws themselves into this whirlwind of emotions, humor and insanity with their hearts on their sleeves at brute force.

Øystein Karlsen

Øystein Karlsen is the writer/director behind the Norwegian hit series DAG. Season 1, 2 and 3 has all been an instant hit with the tv-audiences and received rave reviews from an eclectic critics choir who was fascinated by Karlsens dark written, warm, absurd comedy and the innovative style of the filmmaker. Karlsen started his career as a carpenter, lied his way into becoming a radio host at the age of 21, moved on to head the marketing department at NRK (Norway`s public broadcaster), quit his day job because he could´t stand long meetings, and started writing scripts and direct commercials instead. DAG has so far received 16 Norwegian Emmy nominations, has been sold to eleven countries, and 20^thCentury Fox Tv-departement bought the re-make rights for North America, making DAG the first Norwegian TV-series ever to be sold to the US market. Karlsen feature film debut " Fuck Up" premiered in February 5th 2012 to great reviews. The low budget movie immediately was tipped as ”pick of the year” by two leading Norwegian Newspapers. After US festival screenings, the American film magazine Twitch films picked the movie to head it´s top ten list for 2012 and voted Karlsen among the top five new directors to look out for in 2013.
