The movie can be the characteristic directorial debut of Kajsa Næss, whose shorts embrace Deconstruction Employees and It’s As much as You. The challenge started when Næss came across a ebook about Nobile and the expedition.
“In Norway, Roald Amundsen is a nationwide icon,” says producer Tonje Skar Reiersen. “Everybody is aware of how he gained the race towards the South Pole, beating the British Scott in a lethal march. However that Amundsen had flown throughout the North Pole in an airship! This was information to her as to most individuals. How come this spectacular expedition was largely unknown?”
Titina shouldn’t be “a typical expedition movie: laborious males, harsh nature, that form of factor,” Reiersen continues. “The thought is to create an journey with humor and compassion that actually confirmed us the surprising, gentle, and generally petty sides of those nice males. To give attention to Titina permits us to be extra playful and spotlight particulars and storylines that will not slot in an heroic epic.”
Full manufacturing started in June 2020; we caught up with Mikrofilm in early on within the pandemic. Supply is due in June 2022.
The producers are Reiersen and Lise Fearnley for Mikrofilm, and Viviane Vanfleteren for Vivi Movie. The movie has been pre-sold to France, Benelux, and the Nordic nations, and gross sales agent Les Movies du Losange will launch worldwide gross sales shortly.
