A deeply personal look into the making of the acclaimed film The North.

In The Journey Behind, director Bart Schrijver and photographer/producer Katie Taylor offer a deeply personal look behind the making of the acclaimed film The North.

Venturing far beyond the traditional pathways of traditional filmmaking, Schrijver shows it is possible to trek 350 miles through the raw Scottish Highlands — carrying tents and gear with a small, dedicated crew on a micro budget, and achieve an acclaimed cinema release in over 14 countries around the world, connecting to outdoor enthusiasts everywhere.

This book is an homage to friendship, trust in collective creativity, and a reminder to seek out the wild, raw nature that surrounds us all.

With over 220 pages of behind-the-scenes photographs, film stills, director stories and screenplay excerpts.
