ARCTIC is a film starring Mads Mikkelsen as Overgård and directed by Joe Penna. The film premiered at the 2018 Cannes Festival. It follows Overgård as he shifts from waiting for rescue in the Arctic Circle to beginning a journey of several days through the harsh cold. Francisco Mattos of Shutterbird Production provided technical consulting for this film in order to provide greater realism.

ShutterBird Production was tasked to capture the North Pole Marathon on April 16, 2016. Dubbed as the “world’s coolest marathon”, it lived up to its name with a temperature of -22°C with a wind chill bringing the effective temperature to -35°C. It attracted 47 competitors from around the world, all of whom completed this 42 km marathon. Of them, 9 competitors joined the Grand Slam Club by completing a marathon on each of the 7 continents and the North Pole. Other notable competitors include Michel Ribet, who became the oldest competitor to ever finish the race at 78 years old, as well as Bruno Louges who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and still completed the marathon. We are honored to have been selected to capture such an amazing display of human endurance.

In 2015, ShutterBird Production was featured on a Reuters video published in the New York Times. In the video, we go over what causes the Northern Lights, what we do to prepare ourselves before going out, and what we want to achieve.
