Pleasure and Gusgus.Once upon a time (1995) in the north there were two young boys that wanted to make a short film. These two, Sigurður Kjartansson (former male-model) and Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson (pilot) were well connected in the Reykjavik at the time and had no problems in gathering the "créme de la créme" of the Icelandic art scene together, being it music, acting, singing, dancing or financing. Within a couple of months they had all funds to make Pleasurehappen. When they had gathered the actors/singers/photographers of good quality available in Reykjavík, names such as Daniel Agust Haraldsson, Magnús Jónsson, Emiliana Torrini, Hafdís Huld Hákonardóttir, Heiðrún Anna, Ragnheiður Axel (who wrote the unbelievable techno track Message from Disneywith Veiran on the first self-titled album "gusgus" from 1995), Baldur Stefánsson (financial genius), Stephan Stephensen photographer aka President Bongo, and some other local actors such as Birna Hafstein and Kjartan Guðjónsson, they went ahead with scheduled shooting in the month of May 1995. Of course money ran out by the end of that month so there was "nothing" else to do than to make the film score and throw in some pop tunes while they were at it.
