Grylu Sker is the tale of a lost explorer set in a world of Icelandic folklore written by Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist, The Haunted Swordsman) and Icelandic author Sjón (co-writer of The Northman). It is a story of an explorer's fight for survival on a bleak unforgiving island and also a re-imagining of the legendary Icelandic witch Gryla. This film will utilize 36 inch tall bunraku puppets, stop motion animation, traditional in-camera effects and old-fashioned smoke and mirrors trickery.
