About me:

:==============================:

:==============================:

From Oakland to Iceland: A Hip-Hop Homecoming is a documentary about Iceland native DJ PLATURN, raised in California and his homecoming tour playing in Iceland where he has lived since the age of 7. The film explores his 3 week tour DJing for his native Icelanders, where he exhibits his talents as a scratch/trick DJ, among other things. DJ PLATURN resides in Oakland, California.

DJ PLATURN is also part of the famed OAKLAND FADERS crew from Oakland, California which won Toyota's "Scion Mixtape Competition" in 2004. They took 1st place out of 600 other contestants from all over the United States and their mix was distributed via 500,000 units throughout the world.

The film includes footage of DJ PLATURN in Oakland, coming home to Iceland, traveling into the awe-inspiring countryside, reconnecting with his family, playing various gigs and shows in Reykjavik and also, interviews and excerpts with DJs, MCs, B-Boys and promoters in the local Icelandic Hip-Hop scene.

The film explores the bi-cultural issues involved in DJ PLATURN's life as an Icelander raised in America and in his DJing, music and career.

The film is in English and was premiered in the spring of 2008.

The documentary is written, directed and produced by Ragga M. Thordarson.

The Icelandic production company SPARK co-produced the film.

The editor of the film is Gunnar B. Gudbjornsson, famed for YouTube rock and metal show "Sleepless in Reykjavik".

Official trailer coming soon.

A CHANCE AT SLAMDANCE, ‘09
Launches: September 8th
Ends: November 10th, 11:30PM (PST)

Current TV understands how important it is for filmmakers to be showcased in the best festivals. So, for the second year in a row we've teamed up with Slamdance Film Festival to give you a chance to have your short documentary shown at the premiere North American indie film showcase!

Slamdance Film Festival and Current are presenting a call for short documentary films, providing filmmakers the opportunity to participate in the Park City experience. Five selected filmmakers will shine on the big screen in January 2009 as part of a Current and Slamdance curated shorts program, as well as get a chance to have their uploaded documentary considered for acquisition for Current TV.

So shred the festival rejection letters and upload that short documentary that you KNOW the world has got to see to current.com/slamdance

Vassap, From Oakland To Iceland: A Hip-Hop Homecoming !!

Við erum að sjá framm á sveitta stemningu á morgun, föstudag, á Players, Kópavogi. Það sveitta að við verðum eiginlega að fá þig til að mæta, með ryksugu sem er með svona vatns pumpu dæmi, þannig að hægt er að ryksuga upp vatn ... skiluru? .. svona, æji .. eins og ryksuga nema að hún getur sogið upp vatn ... ekki bara drullu, þú veist .. vatn líka ..? :- /

Allavegana ... MÆTTU Á PLAYERS Á MORGUN! Það verður fáránlega sveitt og þú munt hafa gaman af því =)

Nice. Only thing missing was Bjork freestyling over your beats while those hot pixie girls from Mum breakdance in the background. But I'm sure that would be hard to pull off.
