Violent (2015)

Anecdotes

Violent is a 2014 Canadian-Norwegian drama film directed by Andrew Huculiak and created by the Vancouver-based production company Amazing Factory Productions. The film acts as a companion to the Vancouver band We Are the City's album of the same name. Though the film features an original score by the band, none of the band's songs are featured in the film.

Production

The movie, produced by Josh Huculiak, Amy Darling of Media Darling and Brent Hodge of Hodgee Films, was made for $300,000, and was shot sometimes with less than five crew members on set at a time. The film is the feature film debut for Amazing Factory Productions, who are well known for creating music videos for bands such as Hey Ocean!, We Are the City and Said the Whale.

"The film was truly a collaboration between two Vancouver groups, one a band called We Are The City and the other a video production company called Amazing Factory," said Andrew Huculiak in an interview the Vancouver International Film Festival, "The film is mostly in Norwegian. None of us speak Norwegian.

The script was written in English and translated into Norwegian with nobody on the production team speaking Norwegian. At times, there were fewer than five people on set at one time, and with no production vehicle, the crew would walk over ten kilometers a day.
