Rúna Fridriksson - Producer
Rúna was born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland and moved to the United States by way of Bermuda in her twenties. Always a voracious reader, Rúna developed an innate sense of good storytelling which she would attribute in part to the oral traditions of her homeland.
After running a small business and working for other companies, big and small, she started out on her career as a Literary Manager. She signed Joël Colburn in 2007 and has now grown into a Producer-Director with her first Documentary, The Renaissance Man (Endurreisnar-Maðurinn in Icelandic) which began shooting in the end of January, 2010 in Reykjavik. This project has evolved into an ambitious study of the Icelandic Financial Meltdown brought on by a select few who raped and pillaged the banking system after it was privatized several years ago. This collapse devastated the economy and as of yet, none of them has been brought to justice. She continues to conduct interviews in Reykjavik, London, Montreal and Washington D.C. with the hope that telling this story of limited scope might help us to see more clearly what happened here.
Rúna is Producing the independent film by Joël Colburn, A Sexual Thriller which is about a sexy spy who really knows how to get things done. This project is in development through her shingle, Kristrún Entertainment and is projected to begin shooting in 2014. She also has the political thriller franchise, Lethal Exposure in line for a 2015 start.
