The Behind-the-scenes Production of "Chasing the Murder in a White Night"

Chasing the Murder in a White Night is adapted from the Norwegian film Insomnia (1997). Producers Paul Junger Witt and Edward MacDonald are interested in the background of this film and the unique predicament of the protagonist, so they ask screenwriter Hillary Seitz to adapt it. After a year of careful research and careful conception, the script was finally completed. The name of the film's protagonist Will Domo comes from the Latin dormire, which means sleep.
