Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sölvason is part of Iceland's booming micro-budget scene, where directors weaponize the country's dramatic emptiness on shoestring budgets. This premiered at Reykjavík's RIFF, a festival known for celebrating cinematic lunacy.
The 'falcon bandits' wear modified chicken costumes from an Icelandic poultry commercial. Sölvason reportedly 'borrowed' them from a friend's ad agency and never returned them.
