Each month we randomly picked a film maker and gave him or her limited time, limited budget and one or more obstructions to create any short movie they like. We supplied the lighting and promoted the film as if it was our own commercial.

Obstructions
Together with other film makers we created a list of obstructions from which we will pick one or more to give to the film maker to work with, work against or work around. These obstructions can both be technical or conceptual. Mainly the obstructions are put in place to frustrate common practice in the process of making a film, so the film makers have to get creative in order to not fail the challenge.

To participate all you had to do is sign up for our open call for a particular period and share the info about the open call with your network. Ever month we had a new open call for a working period of a month about one to two months in advance. This should allow for enough time to plan ahead.

The open call is currently paused. We are working hard to get the project back up and running as soon as we can.

The And Action film challenge was created by Jurjen Semeijn of Studio I Have Pop™. He based it on the 2003 Lars von Trier movie "The Five Obstructions". In this movie Von Trier challenges his mentor Jørgen Leth to make five different versions of his 1969 short movie "The Perfect Human", all with almost impossible obstructions to overcome. The film follows the creative process - Leth struggling to deal with the obstructions - and shows the solutions through the final films.

 "Astora asked me to come up with a campaign to promote their brand and products. They gave me a lot of freedom and I thought it would be interesting to take this freedom and pass it on. It would've be much easier and safer to controll all the variables, but safe never becomes great and it wouldn't be as fun." Jurjen says.

He continues "In our art and design studio the focus is often on proces and human interaction. We care about how people and brands act. Like with Astora we can say that it's a great product, but in stead we can also prove it in all kinds of circumstances. And even if we sometimes don't prove it, it will still be much more fun than regular advertising."

Studio I Have Pop™ handles all communication with the film makers and is responsible for the interviews on this website.
