of shooting
The Voyage was a script first written in 2024, loosely based on the Netflix series Norsemen. The story follows a small band of Vikings led by their Jarl seeking fame and fortune through conquest. After arriving on land, their conquest is interrupted by the Jarl's daughter, pleading her father to return home. When no one listens to her, she teams up with a local to trick the Vikings into leaving.
Not Like Other Vikings
The Voyage caters to history buffs as much as comedy fans. No horned-helmets here, our production team of writers, artists, and actors took the time to carefully design wardrobe, props, and accents for an authentic historical experience.
Most Vikings in TV and film are dramatic brutal warriors representing peak masculinity, but these takes leave out the more nuanced reality of early Nordic society. Most 'Vikings' were fisherman and farmers, who's wives would not be happy if they just randomly up and left to go on a raid with the boys.
"Going on a raid" scene from Netflix's Norsemen, which inspired much of the short film
This story gives Vikings a more imperfect approach. While they conquered lands, combed their hair, and built ships capable of navigating shallow-rivers, they were also humans capable of making poor choices on the prospect of fortune.
