PICTUREHOUSE RELEASES
IMMERSIVE FILM “THE NORTH”
OPENING IN SELECT THEATERS ON OCTOBER 9
Shot entirely on location across Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail, THE NORTH follows two friends in their early thirties who reunite after a decade apart to undertake the grueling 330-mile journey. Chris (Bart Harder), a Dutchman, and Lluis (Carles Pulido), a Spaniard, navigate Scotland’s lush but unpredictable terrain and the emotional challenges of reconnecting, embarking on a journey filled with overwhelming natural beauty, unexpected epiphanies and life-changing self-discovery.
The filmmakers and cast immersed themselves in the experience to make the film. Director Bart Schrijver took his small team onto the trails, carrying their equipment and supplies and sleeping outdoors along the way. Without lighting equipment and with fewer than six cast and crew on the trail at any given time, the production had the freedom to adapt to the journey as it unfolded. They shot chronologically, with Schrijver rewriting scenes at night based on what they had encountered that day, allowing the weather, terrain and physical realities of the journey to shape the story.
That immersive quality extends to the film’s sound design. With no traditional musical score, THE NORTH relies on the natural sounds of the trail, including wind, rain, wildlife and footsteps, to place audiences alongside its characters. The expansive cinematography and richly detailed soundscape are amplified by the Dolby Cinema presentation.
THE NORTH was written and directed by Bart Schrijver and stars Bart Harder and Carles Pulido. The film was produced by Schrijver, Arnold Janssen and Tom Hölscher, with Kees De Jong serving as executive producer. Cinematography is by Twan Peeters, with sound recording by Fraser Allan and editing by Gijs Walstra. The North is a production of the Netherlands-based Tuesday Studio, which is handling international sales on the film.
