– This allows Audun and I can develop a program that solves the technological problems arising on a film set. Our colleagues rented often out to various productions, and they bring our program to work. Thus we get a lot of marketing and direct feedback from users. There is no doubt that we create tools for demanding users, says Bruce.

Complete software package

Both coders have experience from Østfold College campus Remmen.
