We could not be more proud to share our new film with you. FOLKTALES will premiere at The Sundance Film Festival in January!
FOLKTALES: Weary of the often crushing pressures felt by members of Gen Z, three teenagers make the daring decision to leave the comforts of home to enroll in the Pasvik Folk High School in the wilds of northern Norway.
