“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 is just not “a typical expedition movie: laborious males, harsh nature, that kind of factor,” Reiersen continues. “The thought is to create an journey with humor and compassion that actually confirmed us the sudden, gentle, and typically petty sides of those nice males. To concentrate on 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.
