CSI Halsnøy is the first of three films in the CSI Halsnøy series of films. It was written and filmed in the fall of 2005 and first showed on December 19, 2005. A re-edit of the film was released to the internet by the producers in 2006.

Synopsis
Even and Martin are two detectives sent to investigate a murder at a Norwegian high school. They suspect a pair of local "druggies", Rune and Steffen, to be behind the crime, after they discover cannabis inside the deceased victim. Later, another one of the detectives, Kenneth, is killed by Steffen when he discovers cannbis at the crime scene, linking the druggies to the murder. The killing is however seen by Even, and the police officers promptly raid the druggies, with both Martin and Steffen being shot, while Even chase Rune to a standoff. Rune however, defeats Even, and the unconcious detective is last seen being driven away in the trunk of a car, leaving the film with a cliffhanger.

Goofs and errors

 * The clothing of the actors change between pretty much every scene. The only one of the actors who remembered to keep his clothes for most of the shoots, were Rune.
 * Breathing from the cameraman can be heard during some outdoor shots. This was due to the microphone being placed on the operator side of the camera.
 * During the water pipe scene, laughter can be heard. At the time of the shoot, more than 30 students had gathered behind the cameraman to watch, without him knowing it.
 * The scene where the victim is kicked down the stairs was completed with Jostein Tvedten doing his own stunts, but the cameras extension cord wasn't long enough to reach the staircase. He nearly broke his ankle in the final three steps of the fall.
 * When Even runs in to find Kenneth murdered, the number of students outside the door changes drastically.
 * As the agents prepare for the gun fight, the weather changes drastically between two shots.

Trivia

 * The gunshot effects are from the first-person shooter Counter-Strike.
 * After filming the bicycle scene from a rooftop, cameraman Gisle Johansen fell three meters from the edge and landed ass-first on solid asphalt.
 * The two-second shot of Rune and Even cycling past the camera on the hill took more than ten takes.
 * The bicycle chase was originally a moped chase, but the actors were not old enough to ride them, and was not given permission to do so.
 * The car in the final scene was driven by the producers' English teacher, the only person with a license who was available on short notice.
 * All scenes, with the exception of the gunfight at the end was filmed during school hours.
 * The scene with Christian helping an unconcious Even, was originally scripted to be Martin helping Even, however, Martin was at the dentist, and filming couldn't be delayed any more. His visit to the dentist is referred in both the scene, and the next one.
 * The person who plays the fourth agent during the gunfight, was hired a few minutes prior to filming.
 * The faux rifle used by Even in the gunfight is built from a stick, an empty toilet-roll and masking tape. It was constructed by Even during the autopsy-scene, while the crew was waiting for the cameraman to finish packing the equipment for the next shoot.
