This project is my exploration of blending genres, combining the raw intensity of a survival reality show like Man vs. Wild with the tension of a horror thriller drama. The story follows newcomer survivalist Rune, who is struggling to find his place within a large film crew, while facing constant challenges from Malcolm, a seasoned survivalist who tests Rune's resolve at every turn. At its core, this project taps into one of my deepest fears: not belonging.

Many of the scenes are deeply personal, mirroring experiences from my own life—though, of course, without the action-packed drama. The questions characters face are ones I’ve often asked myself: Where do I belong in this world? What is my purpose?
