FINANCING NEEDEDA new and ambitious noir film - that shows the true potiential of Kodaks analog film formats! "Nothing Ventured" // "Intet Vover": a new and exciting noir-short-film, shot on four different analog film formats: super 8, super 16, 35mm, and glorious 65mm film. "Intet vover, intet vinder" is a Danish saying that means "Nothing ventured, nothing gained". This saying perfectly encapsulates this film-project, not only regarding the story but also the way we bring it to life. In the noir underbelly of Copenhagen, we follow a mysterious red suitcase on a dramatic journey over the course of a day, changing a young woman's life forever. It is a story about taking the chance of a lifetime, wrapped in a declaration of love for crime films, analog film formats, and a reminder of why it's important to look back at our film traditions when exploring the future of the art form. • Go to "Nothing Ventured" on kickstarter.com • Go to Logmar's hand-held 65mm Camera • Go to biografmuseet.dk: "Intet Vover" In "Nothing Ventured" we follow a mysterious red suitcase through the different chapters. Director and Writer Jesper Tønnes has been exploring Kodaks analog film-formats for several years, and has always dreamed of bringing them together in one complete story.

 The
different sizes of analog formats that will be used in "Nothing Ventured /
Intet Vover": 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 65mmIf we should be lucky enough to raise more money than our goal, it will only make the film better. This would give us the possibility to be even more creative, and spend more time on each frame of the film. If there's one thing we have already learned on this project, every inch of film counts! More support = More feet of analog film = More ambitious creativity = Better film. Like many crime/noir films before it, "Nothing Ventured" will be told through chapters, four chapters to be exact. The special thing about this film is that every time we change switch chapter, we also switch the film format. The film will start in Super 8, and end with 65mm film.
"Intet Vover // Nothing Ventured"
has a cast of legendary Danish actors, who’s credits range from award
