TROLLHUNTER -- Filmmaker Andre Ovredal talks trolls, timing, and translation.

Trollovrecroppeddelightedprx_small Andre Ovredal waited over a decade before embarking on his second adventure in feature filmmaking. He used the time to hone his skills as a successful commercial filmmaker in his native Norway, a country whose folklore gifted him with the premise of TROLLHUNTER. A man with a quick wit, and a killer smile, he talked about why he's glad he waited, the finer points of giving trolls a voice, why he doesn't regret using only one camera while filming with no coverage, as well as his wry mock-doc's underlying ecological theme.
