Made in Mosjoen

A rather strange and unusual and very dark webseries described as the Norwegian version of the classic TV series Twin Peaks. The characters are mysterious, and just as dangerous. They also do the unusual thing of actually speaking to the camera rather than acting like it's not there, known as the "fourth wall."

Even we can't quite come up with a good description, except for the fact that at one point, they create a fish-gun.

Note: MANY web awards!

Réponds-moi papa

The title of this series translates to Answer Me Daddy. We get to watch as little six-year-old Tyson interacts with his single father Daddy.  Parents will identify with things such as homework procrastination, and the invention of nonsense words. There's plenty of six-year-old silliness like pretending to gag at the mention of what's for dinner.
