Mortensen wrote the screenplay and plays one of the two leading roles.
The cast also includes Lance Henriksen and Sverrir Gudnason (“The Girl in the Spider’s Web”).
Falling is produced by Daniel Bekerman of Scythia Films and Mortensen.
The actor had previously produced “Everyone Has a Plan,” “Far From Men,” and “Jauja” through Perceval Pictures.
