Finding Home

Finding Home is the story of a young musk ox calf who is forced on a journey to find his way back home after being taken away and transported from Greenland to Norway. Lost in the unfamiliar wilderness of Mount Dovre, Musky meets unexpected companionship: Foxy, a lonely Arctic fox, and Reiny, a rebellious reindeer calf. On their journey, they face many dangers in a challenging landscape, and together, discover their own strengths and the true meaning of family and friendship. This animated adventure, inspired by true events, explores themes of belonging, bravery, and the power of a found family in the face of overwhelming odds.

Director’s statement
In Finding Home I get to combine some of my greatest passions life; animation, wildlife, environmental awareness and human compassion.

It’s important for me to tell stories that trigger us to evaluate the world and how we relate to it. This is a dramatic story based on true events and reminds us, not only of human interference with nature, but pinpoint some challenges our nature and wildlife are facing today. It is also a story about the hardship we face when we lose everything, and are forced to find a new role, and a new place to call home.

To bring out the heart and nature of this film, the artwork and the music is key. Even though we explore the mix of 3D and 2D for this project, the main idea is an overall digitally painted look, to create a rough expression to complement the harsh environment our characters live in, making the animals feel real, and bring us closer to nature.

Finding Home will hit you right in the heart, and never let you forget it.
