Exciting New Trailer for POLARIS Teases a Wild "Mad Max in the Arctic" Style Adventure!
I’ve got an awesome new trailer for you to watch for a Canadian post-apocalyptic revenge thriller titled Polaris. This project comes from director KC Carthew, who describes the film as "Mad Max in the Arctic, an origin story of a world gone to shame that builds from themes of environmental stewardship/horror."
The story for the film includes some interesting genre story elements and I’m looking forward to watching it. It looks like its going to take audiences on a wild and savage adventure of revenge and survival.
The movie is set in 2144 against the harsh backdrop of a frozen wasteland, “Sumi, a human child raised by Mama Polar Bear, narrowly escapes capture from a brutal Morad hunting party and sets out across the vast winter landscape. When Sumi stumbles across Frozen Girl, an unlikely friendship is forged and together they race ahead of the vindictive hunters towards the only guiding light Sumi knows, the Polaris star. Filmed in the subarctic, the story is set in a futuristic frozen world born of the brutal disregard of generations prior – where any nation could be buried under the snow."
The filmmaker further explained: "it is inspired by eco-feminism and the need for significant cultural and sustainable change. The film portrays these themes with an entirely female cast – including the polar bear."
Epic Pictures will release Carthew's Polaris on VOD in the US starting on November 7th, 2023.
