-The facts about Mengaloth


The Amateur film Mengaloth had a budget of only $3,000.  The film takes place in
the
Sokndal commune in Norway, plus a minor portion in Denmark.  It was begun
in 1999, and finished in 2005.  The reason it has taken so long, is that people who
have participated in the film have given of their own free time.  It has therefore not
always been easy to assemble all the actors simultaneously.  Equipment used has
been an ordinary video camera, synthesizer (plus some genuine instrumentation)
and a PC with Windows 98se...


The director is Paul Magnus Lundø.  He plays the part of Palo, and has made the
costumes and props.  These young men had no experience with filming, and set up
a project not knowing how it would end.  The result was good, but they still wish
the whole history was clearer. 


The film has received favorable attention in Norway, and was one of the best
amateur films in 2005.


Setting of the film;
Somehow Palo, son of Nemloh, is the only survivor of one of the many battles
comprising the Great War.  Palo flees to the wilderness to seek refuge from the
outside world. Two years later Palo learns that the evil which was turned loose
in the world during the war, has made a deeper and greater ruin than he realized.
The war is far from over—it has only shifted arenas.
