A huge part of Per-Ingvar Tomren's childhood was spent in hospitals, and the summer of '95 was no exception. On his way to the cinema to watch "Dumb and Dumber", he crashed his wheelchair resulting in a broken and dislocated shoulder and a shattered upper leg. He would be stuck to a hospital bed for the entire summer, so to cheer him up his grandmother bought him a gift that would change his life: a VHS of Quentin Tarantino's 1992 masterpiece "Reservoir Dogs". Per-Ingvar fell totally in love with this film and would watch it up to eight times a day. As soon as the film finished, he would just rewind the cassette and watch it all over again. By the end of this summer Per-Ingvar had already worn out his first VHS copy of "Reservoir Dogs", and had to buy another one. Over the years he has bought over 60 copies of "Reservoir Dogs" on video, LaserDisc, DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, and it still remains his favorite film of all time. During the summer of 1995 "Pulp Fiction" was also released on video in Norway, and Quentin Tarantino became Per-Ingvar's idol. From his hospital bed, high on painkillers waiting for "Reservoir Dogs" to rewind yet again, Per-Ingvar decided he would become a filmmaker.
Per-Ingvar's first attempt at making a movie, was an extremely personal piece based on a lot of his own experiences. After spending several months working on the project, he realized that he didn't have the necessary skills, money, equipment, cast or crew to do this story justice. So he decided to make some other movies first as sort of a film education. He made a couple of short films entitled "Røyking Dreper" and "School of the Dead" while working at the local grade school. His first feature length movie was an anti-drug film named "Banzai Motherfucker!", were he was hired by child protective services to make this movie with a couple of kids.
His first feature that was shown in theaters was the Christmas slasher "O'Hellige Jul!" (2013), that he wrote and directed with fellow filmmaker, Magne Steinsvoll. In 2014 Per-Ingvar started to work on a ghost movie called "Angst".- Additional Crew

Born on December 9th, 1991, Raymond Volle spent his youth studying film. At 18 he became aware of a film production in Norway which at the time this was an extremely rare occurrence. He contacted the filmmakers and found his way on set as an observer. The film was "Christmas Cruelty!", and before he knew it he was knee-deep in a film production and couldn't care less about going to school to study. Many years and multiple schools away from achieving an actual film degree, Raymonde discovered it was much better to do than to learn about doing. With only a handful of music videos, commercials and school projects on his resume, Raymond quickly rose through the ranks of "Christmas Cruelty!" and became DP.
A year after the premiere of "Christmas Cruelty!", Raymond founded the company Asterion in cahoots with PIT (Per-Ingvar Tomren, Dir. "Christmas Cruelty!"). Their first plan was to make another horror movie - this time a ghost story - but during the writing process it became clear that they would not be able to afford such large-scale production. They discussed different ways of getting the money, and one of the last ditch crazy ideas was to kidnap the Minister of Culture in Norway and hold her for ransom. Luckily they realized that would be a bad idea, but it could be a fun plot for a movie - and voila! The plot of "Headless Entanglement" (what would become their first official production) was born.
Raymond and PIT's philosophy is to make films, whenever, wherever and with whoever however they can. In Norway they have assisted production on films such as "Lyst" (Dir. Severin Eskeland), "Saga" (Dir. Jørn Steen), the Norwegian / German TV-Series "Furia" (Dir. Magnus Martens) and more internationally known titles like "Mission: Impossible" when production visited their small town. (Since "Christmas Cruelty!" the tiny town they live in with about 2000 residents has become sort of a hot spot for Hollywood films and series. Cause and effect? Who knows?!)
Raymond and PIT traveled across the world to film the opening credits for "Headless Entanglement", including a stop in Los Angeles. Some time later - totally in love with the city - they returned to Los Angeles with the completed film. After a successful screening of the film, they linked up with several independent filmmakers and production companies, and have been producing with and for these Hollywood productions ever since.- Echo Sandvig was born on 29 February 1992 in Ålesund, Møre og Romsdal, Norway.
