We are here making a documentary film about the CFL project. Even though we’re shooting in Winter and there’s only about two hours a day of light – and that’s twilight – when we shoot the light is beautiful. As a filmmaker and cinematographer it’s like a kid being in a candy store. I want to grab everything and put it in my camera.



The Amundsen is another beautiful wonder. Never having been on an ice cutter before I am amazed of its power to navigate through ice. We were actually pleasantly surprised about the accommodations on board, also. We had no idea what to expect. The truth is the ship is way beyond what our expectations were.

We’re coming back in April and August to continue filming through those two seasons. We still have a little less than two weeks on this leg – but already we’re looking forward to the next visit.



We know we’ve been tasked and trusted to make a great film. Before it is over I project we’ll shoot between 70 and 80 hours that will eventually be edited down to 90 minutes. This kind of filmmaking requires a tremendous amount of editing and post-production.

Lets hope, from the 70-80 hours of HD tape we ultimately shoot, that we choose the right 90 minutes to comprise a compelling, engaging and exciting motion picture!



All the best,
Anthony Christopher
