Inspired by a love for history, comedy, and Vikings!

The Voyage was a script first written in 2024, loosely based on the hit Netflix series Norsemen. The story follows a small band of Vikings led by their ambitious Jarl seeking fame and fortune through conquest. After arriving on foreign shores, their conquest is interrupted by the Jarl's daughter, pleading her father to give up his Viking quest and return home to the farm.

As a descendant of Norwegian immigrants, Vikings are a history topic near and dear to my heart. However, I am disappointed to see most modern-media depicts Vikings in an exaggerated light - most commonly as brutal warriors that represented the peak of masculinity. These takes leaves out the more nuanced reality of Nordic society - and almost forget its feminine members entirely. While it's true that Vikings inspired fear with their ferocity in battle and impressively engineered longships, the majority of Norsemen  were not raiders or warriors, but farmers, fishermen, and traders - with plenty of woman sharing the brunt of the work. 

This story gives Vikings a more imperfect approach through a comedic lens. While they conquered lands, combed their hair, and built ships capable of navigating shallow-rivers, they were very much human capable of making poor choices on the prospect of fortune. 

As initial photography is complete, our team is seeking to raise money to cover post-production costs. Supporters will receive a sponsor credit, BTS footage, early trailer and film release!
