Skyggen (1998) is a Danish science fiction/cyberpunk-film directed by Thomas Borch Nielsen and released in Germany and the U.S. as Webmaster.

It stars Danish actor Lars Bom as the cerebral, machine-like hacker-turned-webmaster J.B., who performs his job while hanging upside down, wearing virtual reality goggles, his mind busy deep inside cyberspace. Upon witnessing a murder, he teams up with the impulsive, energetic Miauv (Puk Scharbau).

Lars Bom won the Best Actor award at the Italian Fantafestival[1], where the film also won for Best Special Effects.

The film furthermore won a Silver Grand Prize at the 1999 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film, and a Danish Robert award[2] for Best Production Design.
