Inner Voice Artists & Immaterial Agents Set The Munoz Brothers To Adapt YA Novel ‘Iceland’s Mountain Factory’ For TV

EXCLUSIVE: Mexican filmmaking duo the Munoz Brothers, who made the 2019 comedy-drama Paper Boats, have been set to adapt Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir’s young adult novel Iceland’s Mountain Factory.

The book was inspired by the Greta Thunberg movement. It follows a group of young graduates from a mountaineering academy in the south-east of Iceland who get stuck in a fierce storm, taking refuge in an old hut, where they decide to set up a free state dedicated to nature and sustainability. When one of the girls in the group, an established environmental activist and influencer, is found dead one morning, everything changes.
