(09/12/06) True North, Michelle's new film, begins filming this week in Norway.

Directed by British director Asif Kapadia (The Warrior and The Return) and written by Asif Kapadia and Tim Miller, the story is based on Sara Maitland's short story with the same title, and it stars our Michelle, Sean Bean (The Lord of the Rings's Boromir), and Chinese American actress Michelle Krusiec (aka Yang Yahui, Saving Face). True North is a psychological, "dark love triangle set in the Arctic in the middle of nowhere", said the director in past interviews. "It is going to be a very tough shoot. I am yet again returning to an overpowering landscape."

The story is about a woman, Saiva (Michelle), who lives in the far north away from civilization with her adopted daughter Anja (Krusiec). One day a man (Bean) arrives and forever changes their lives.

According to Norwegian media, both of the Michelles were in Norway in late August for the film preparation at some of the FilmCamp's production locations, including a discontinued military camp called Holmen leir in Malselv, Norway. True North has started filming in the Arctic Circle on the islands of Svalbard and will move to the FilmCamp on the mainland in Malselv in October. The budget of the film is US$10 million.
