ABOUT THE FILM
Big In Sweden is a stand up comedy road movie where comedian Al Pitcher finds out what it really means to be Big in Sweden
Over the last decade New Zealander, Al Pitcher has become one of Sweden’s best loved stand up comedians. Sold out shows, television appearances and an army of fans. Al Pitcher is BIG IN SWEDEN.
Join Al on his quest to find out what being BIG IN SWEDEN really means!
Travel through the beauty of Sweden and be amazed by Giant Potatoes, Enormous Coathangers and Gigantic Cheese Slicers!
This is a journey of discovery, an insight into how a comedian finds the funny, and an affectionate tribute to the less well known side of Sweden, Al Pitcher’s adoptive country.
Al Pitcher may be a star in Sweden, but will he ever be as big as the Mjölby potato or the Edsbyn Bandy stick?

WHERE WE'RE AT.....

We've done it!
Picture locked, grading and sound mix complete, graphics, subtitles and we've got ourselves a 60 minute film!
The first chance to see the film will be on August 22nd at Cnema in Norrköping at an invite only preview. If you'd like to be a part of that and/or sponsor the nibbles and fizzy drinks then please drop us a line.
After that it's a question of applying to festivals, getting some attention and then selling the film to a distributor! Simple!
The whole film is more or less self-funded, through gigs plus some small, but much appreciated financial support from the Norrköpings Filmfond and Region Uppsala. Thank you!
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to know more!
