Estonian producer Esko Rips recently shared his take on the project: “The entire team at Nafta Film is very happy to be boarding this production, which puts a spotlight on Estonia and puts Tartu on the map of the international film industry. I believe this movie will soon be followed by new, bigger projects.” Speaking about the first few shooting days, he added: “We are currently filming in the old building of the National Archives, which houses the barracks of the First World War. The first few shooting days have been very exciting and productive, the cooperation with the Danes is going smoothly, and we have heard nothing but praise for the Estonian crew.” In the coming days, the most violent battle scenes will be filmed in the village of Tamsa, Tartu County, where real World War I trenches were excavated. Furthermore, filming will also take place in Belgium and Denmark.

Erna at War is being produced by Birgitte Hald and Nynne Selin Eidnes for Nimbus Film (Denmark), Sébastian Delloye for Entre Chien & Loup (Belgium), and Esko Rips for Nafta Film (Estonia). In addition, the movie has received support from the Danish Film Institute, TV2 Denmark, FilmFyn, TV4, the Estonian Film Institute, the Tartu Film Fund, Wallimage and Creative Europe MEDIA, among other sources. Copenhagen-based outfit Scanbox Entertainment will take care of the film's domestic release, scheduled for September 2020.
