The Treatment
Baltasar Kormákur: Everest
Director Baltsar Kormákur discusses working from chaos on the set of Everest.
Director Baltasar Kormákur utilizes his personal acting experience to allow his cast to channel the truest essence of a character in a method he likes to call "working from chaos," a concept perhaps recognized growing up in Iceland's unusual and sometimes turbulent weather. With a lifetime of preparation for the natural disasters portrayed in his films, Kormákur now takes on Earth's highest summit in his new film, Everest.
