(2017). The plot focuses on Woody, a 17-year-old boy from a tiny village in Alaska, who is so depressed that he wants to end his life. Instead, he does something epically stupid: he shoots the oil pipeline that crosses the state and becomes a wanted criminal overnight, hunted down by special agent Susan Tarheel. While he is running for his life, he will learn for the first time what it truly means to be alive. The movie is being produced by Marc Bary for Amsterdam-based firm IJswater Films, in co-production with Lithium Studios (Canada), Caviar (Belgium), Volterra Group (Netherlands) and EO (Netherlands).
