A filmmaking duo is embarking on a 2,300-kilometer road trip to a film festival to accommodate a passenger with a fear of flying.
Even Benestad and August B. Hanssen have been working on a film about Ryan Wiik’s attempt to create a Hollywood-style movie based on the “Morgan Kane” character for over eight years, according to reports. The journey highlights the lengths creatives will go to support their projects and collaborators.
The pair will travel the extensive distance due to the fact that their fellow traveler is unable to fly. “Here, it is not the diagnosis that defines anyone,” sources say. This dedication underscores the importance of personal comfort and accessibility within the film industry.
The news comes as an advocate firm investigates anonymous allegations against Arne Thomassen, as reported on February 17, 2026.
