New details have emerged regarding Laura Scrivano’s first feature film! The Cinemaholic has learned that the psychological thriller ‘Ring Road’ will be shot in Iceland. The plot revolves around a photographer traveling across Iceland with her partner. Their adventure takes a dramatic turn when they end up fleeing with a hitchhiker’s baby, challenging her beliefs about parenthood and testing her limits of survival. Scrivano is directing the movie with a screenplay she wrote with Óttar Nordfjörd.
Scrivano recently helmed four episodes of Hulu’s dark comedy series ‘Wedding Season,’ in which a secret romance at a wedding ignites a series of murders and suspicions, following former lovers Katie and Stefan, who must untangle a complex web of intrigue to uncover the truth behind a deadly incident. The filmmaker also directed two episodes of TNT’s science fiction series ‘The Lazarus Project,’ which follows a covert organization dedicated to preventing global extinction events by manipulating time. The director was also at the helm of an episode of ‘McDonald & Dodds.’
Scrivano’s diverse portfolio includes several notable short films. In ‘Shadow/Self,’ she blends dance, fashion, and music to delve into the darker aspects of the feminine psyche, presenting a narrative of human struggle through movement, beauty, and light. Her earlier work, ‘The Orchard,’ centers on Saverio, who, after a decade of silence following his brother Leo’s death, confronts Leo’s memory and his own hidden desires through a connection with Leo’s goddaughter, Anna.
Another addition to Scrivano’s short film collection is ‘The Language of Love,’ which follows Charlie, a man who is struggling with personal and academic challenges as he attempts to impress others by mimicking a French accent, ultimately finding unexpected sources of courage.
In recent years, Iceland has hosted the production of high-profile projects such as ‘Luther: The Fallen Sun‘ and ‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.’
