Roman Ægir Fjölnisson plays the role of Arnór one of the main characters of the film.

Roman was on a acting course in Borgarholtsskóli and has finished many different courses. Right now he's studying film at Studio Sýrland.

Roman has played roles in over 20 short films, been in a acting group with sketches on the internet and played a role in the film Rán.

I, Fjölnir and my son Roman started writing this script 2 years ago. A part of it is built on our own stories and experiences. But of course we added a bit into the script to make it into a better movie.

There has never been made a movie about many of the topics that are covered in this film and we believe they could impact a lot of people. We think it will also become a good addition to the collection of Icelandic films out there.

Tommi Thor Guðmundsson plays the role of Jón, the drug enforcement officer and is one of the main characters.

Tommi graduated as an actor from Kvikmyndaskóli Íslands and New York Film Academy. He has been in many movies and tv shows. He plays a small role in the movie Operation Napoleon. Tommi's also a stunt man and a model.

I, Fjölnir Baldursson am a producer of this film and will raise money mostly by myself, but won't be able to do it properly without your help. We are applying for small donations here and there. But it will make a difference if you could help us make this into a reality. It will be difficult if raising funds on here won't be a succeed.

The co-producers are Roman Ægir Fjölnisson and Steingrímur Rúnar Guðmundsson.

Until this point I've mostly myself been the one raising the money for my projects but sometimes with the help of companies and individuals. The companies have often been from Vestfirðir in Iceland.

Halldóra Harðar plays the role of Arnór's mother she's dealing with a mental illness.

Halldóra graduated from Kvikmyndaskóli Íslands a year ago. She won an award last year at the Pigeon International Film Festival as the best Icelandic actress. She and Arnfinnur have been playing roles a lot together together both on stage and in film.

We are starting this project because we belive in this story. We think that it's strong and has a good message. There are many people from Vestfirðir taking part in this project with us. Artists, filmmakers, actor and others.

The actors have been chosen for the roles, some are from the west and others from the south. You will see a lot of the same actors from Rán in this film. Jónína Bergmann, Roman Ægir, Stjáni bío, Hjört Dadda Brasa, Simbi kafari and others.

Arnfinnur Daníelsson plays the role of Arnór's father and his father is a drunk .
Arnfinnur or Finni as he's called, graduated from Kvikmyndaskóli Íslands a couple of semesters ago. His graduation film was shown at Pigeon International Film Festival and was one of the better student films there. He has been in a few tv shows and in many short films.

Making a movie is complicated and takes a long time from writing the script until the film is ready. We have been writing the script for the last 2 years and have chosen the actors and people to work with us in this project.

When we are done shooting, a new and difficult process begins. Categorising everything. Shots, sound and editing the movie. Color grading and working on the sound. Composing the music and mastering everything.

It is expensive but since we are doing this out of passion it will be cheaper. We will be working on the film in post production for a whole year after shooting it.
