DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Antoine Janssens here. I am the writer, director and filmmaker of "Life in the Arctic Circle - Northern Norway"

I’m a 29 year old movie director, photographer and storyteller. I’m extremely passionate about sharing positive messages through emotional content. I’ve been fortunate to travel the world and experience it’s diversity. Meeting different cultures, people and experiencing the richness of wildlife, nature and untouched places.

LIFE IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
This movie is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. The North and everything up there fascinates me. Especially during the winter season. Huge untouched landscapes, rough weather that constantly changes, rich wildlife and people who live through this daily.

In February 2019 I went with my girlfriend to northern Norway to spend a few days there. I couldn't resist the urge to film everything I saw. There was so much beauty up in the Arctic.

When I got home, I saw the potential of my footage and knew there was more that I could do with it. However, I was missing key elements that could turn this into a story. A few months later, I returned to the same place to complete what I had already created. But this time with very concrete content and story ideas. For this trip I was accompanied by my good friend
Florian Fatton, who is a great photographer, and Michel Janssens (my dad), who like me loves the Nordic culture.

Creating content up there is unique. Everything is beautiful (landscapes, lights etc ...) but it’s not easy. It’s dark almost all of the time in winter. We only had 2 hours of real light per day!

This movie is a short story about a man from the Sami tribe who’s lived up there for his entire life. It's also the first video of a series of others that I’m working on... ☺

You guys killed it AGAIN! Can´t imagine how cool it would be to be part of your creator team. This remind me so much on my trip to Senja, but in winter it looks definitely different.

Awesome short Antoine! Really enjoyed it, am I wrong if I say I sense an inspiration from the work of Vincent Urban too in the shape and rhythm of the edit? Really nice.

We people who live in big cities and are so dam attached to the things around us today that is made by our surroundings like,
internet, phones, social media, fashion...etc
Imagine leaving everything behind and going full out this lifestyle... well good luck, you must have a real strong will or character to do it. (:
