As a high-school project, Larsen Runestad participated in making an unofficial music video for the song Resistansen by the Norwegian band Kaizers Orchestra. Larsen Runestad is credited as one of the main actors and Costume design, and the video won the "Best music video" award at the eMKå Film Festival 2009 in Sandnes, Norway.
